Trauma Informed Practices in Secondary Schools – They're Not Just Lazy!

Much of the work on trauma informed practices seems to focus on elementary students; however, the bigger kids feel the effects of trauma just as much...they just show it differently. Changing classrooms, large class sizes and increasing demands on teachers make identifying and supporting students affected by trauma very difficult in Junior High and High School. This session is focused on providing teachers with concrete strategies and approaches to make our classrooms a safe place where students feel supported and can be successful.
