The Essentials of Trauma Informed Care Practices in School
Date: March 13 & 15, 2025 (Part of the Main Conference)
Time: 9:00 AM (3-hours total)
Workshop Description
This course is designed for educators to understand the profound effects of adverse life experiences, or trauma, on students and the entire educational ecosystem. School counselors and administrators will learn about the various ways trauma influences all involved parties, enabling them to customize their leadership and counseling programs to effectively support both students and staff.
In these challenging times, the way we deliver school counseling services needs to adapt. Recognizing the short-term and long-term effects of adversity and trauma on human behavior is crucial. This
course equips participants to evaluate and implement effective programs that cater to the needs of their students.
By the end of this 3-hour course, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of how trauma affects the human nervous system and the various human responses to threats to their safety across different ages. They will also acquire practical tools for providing responsive services that are both adequate and appropriate.
Participants will receive PDF resources that can be utilized in staff meetings, group counseling, advisory periods, or individual sessions with students. This course aims to be both educational and applicable, providing tangible benefits to enhance the effectiveness of school counseling and administrative practices.
