A Bit of Good News...Trauma & Education

[Kat]

Hello all!

It's been a while since I last posted.  I just thought I'd share the fact that baby steps are being taken to address trauma in the educational environment.  I'll soon be going to a two day training on trauma and resilience in the classroom.  I'm also in an online master's program where the concentration is trauma and resilience in the educational setting.  I was surprised and thrilled to see such a program exists.  I'm on the second course right now, so we haven't gotten to the courses for our concentrations.  I'll have to come back, and share what those are like.

That's really encouraging news, and it must feel so satisfying to be part of it.

I think things are changing. I heard someone on the radio recently talking about trauma informed schools in the UK, and the difference that this approach is making.

That's awesome Kat!

I've done a few trauma informed trainings as an educator as well.  I found 2 of them helpful and 1 not helpful.

That's great to hear!
