TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES

Workshop Description

This session launches with startling statistics about the prevalence of trauma in our communities.

Understanding the sheer scope of trauma is not enough – thus, we will dive deeper into the implications of how trauma affects the brain, the body and how the effects of trauma manifest in educational settings. Together, we will imagine a road to recovery by examining various evidence-based practices for our learners with trauma.
