Description
Students today are coming to school with deep-rooted traumas. As we know, they do not leave this trauma at the schoolhouse door. We must be prepared to assist students with resiliency and to inform our teachers and staff on best practices in trauma-informed care. This session will dive into what being “trauma-informed” means as a school mental health clinician, how you can work with the other adults in your building to create a trauma-informed culture for all, and how to create meaningful connections with students as a protective factor.
