Hurt People, Hurt People: The Effects of Trauma in Young People & Those Who Care for Them
Summary
Experts report that stress and trauma among children are more prevalent than once assumed and impact children across urban, rural, and suburban environments and socio-economic levels. Stress and trauma impact students’ ability to learn and succeed in school. Child advocates across disciplines recognize that public schools are an important institution for addressing childhood trauma. Along these lines, schools and educators can contribute significantly to the well-being of children by focusing on social-emotional learning (SEL) that helps them thrive and develop resilience. Many states have created social-emotional learning standards and schools are becoming trauma-informed buildings.
In this workshop, participants will:
Learn how trauma effects the brain, learning, and health Reflect on their personal social-emotional competencies Develop SEL strategies to use in the classroom Consider how SEL can be assessed and evaluated Create a classroom that is trauma-sensitive Become an advocate for trauma-sensitive education Recognize the importance of self-care Consider the impact of Covid-19 on trauma
