10 Steps to Create a Trauma-Informed Resilient School
The bad news is trauma is a fact, but the good news is, so is resilience! We can’t talk about making a school trauma-informed without talking about how to make a school resilience-focused. We may not be able to take away toxic stress and trauma that a student has experienced or will continue to experience but we can create new experiences of resilience in our schools.This evidence-based 10-step training will ensure a trauma-informed, resilience-focused foundation is set for future growth and the betterment of the students you serve. This training will give you some new ideas and practical strategies and tools to use with individuals, groups, in the classroom, and school-wide to make your work with children both rewarding and effective.
