This workshop series will provide participants with a basic realization about trauma, Adverse Childhood Experiences, and the impact of trauma and adversity on the brain. We will also explore how trauma impacts student learning, social emotional health and behaviors we see in school. We will highlight how teachers, counselors, school administrators, and all staff members can build positive relationships with students through a trauma-informed approach and use empowering interventions to support learning. Participants will leave with ready-to-use strategies and best practices to provide the best possible environment for their students.
