6.5-hour training session
Trauma-informed practices help create environments where the brain is able to learn rather than exist in a state of hyperarousal. By understanding trauma and its effects, school staff can respond to challenging behavior in a way that supports the students, families, and staff alike.
YOU WILL LEARN:
• The impact of anxiety and trauma on the brain
• How anxiety presents in the classroom
• Practical strategies to apply a trauma-informed approach to the classroom
• Strategies for brain-based neuro-developmental complexities such as ADHD
• Tools to support symptoms of depression that impact learning
• A takeaway plan/framework to implement a trauma-informed approach in your school community
The instructor was very informed and pleasant to listen to. The online platform is not an easy one and she came across very well. She is engaging, warm, down-to-earth and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed it. It was the best workshop I’ve attended in some time. I learned a great deal, was reminded of that which I have learned previously and enjoyed brainstorming with colleagues regarding our approach.
