TRAUMA SUPPORT

Trauma has always maintained an impact on student learning and growth. As educators, we cannot turn a blind eye to major traumatic events as they directly influence student outcomes.

Our trauma services offer an opportunity for all school staff to learn ways to support children and young adults as they process and navigate these adverse childhood experiences in a way that they can feel safe and supported. Moreover, our approach leverages student strengths, develops skills and relationships that help offset risk exposure, and builds student and family resilience for both short and long-term success.

SERVICES AVAILABLE

Our approach is to provide a training experience that addresses specific site needs and empowers school staff to utilize the Protective Factors, including strategies such as restorative practices. Our service options for Trauma Support include:

This intensive training provides participants with a foundational understanding of trauma, exploring the neurobiological and psychological impact these experiences have on young people.
