Teaching Students About Trauma, Stress, and Brain Regulation

Session Two Breakouts (Ballroom D)

All students are impacted by stress and can improve learning through understanding the brain and regulation. For students who have experienced trauma, this information will be critical to their success. Therefore, it is important to empower all students with an understanding of trauma as well as concepts and interventions for regulation and healing. In this presentation, you will learn principles and ideas for teaching key trauma-informed strategies for physical, emotional, and cortical regulation. These principles and strategies can be taught individually, to groups, or in classroom settings. Feedback and lessons learned from students will be included.
