A Schoolwide Approach to Supporting Students Impacted by Trauma
This webinar discussed key components to a schoolwide approach for supporting students impacted by trauma. Components include developing staff understandings about trauma and its impacts (the trauma lens); identifying and adopting trauma-informed best practices utilizing a multi-tiered framework of prevention and intervention strategies; and connecting school-based approaches and practices with local, culture and community. In addition, specific trauma-informed social emotional learning curricula for classrooms (Bounce Back for Classrooms and Students, Trauma and Resiliency [STAR]) and trauma-focused, school-based therapeutic interventions (Cognitive Behavioral Interventions for Trauma in Schools [CBITS], CBITS for American Indian Youth, and Bounce Back) are highlighted.
