Develop a Trauma-Informed Approach to Returning to School

As schools reopen, there will be an intense need for effective social-emotional learning. Most children and educators will return to school with anxiety or insecurity, and many with trauma. This digital experience addresses the needs of the adult first, and then addresses the needs of the child, including the unique emotional and behavioral needs arising from the brain’s response to uncertainty and instability. Using neuroscience, child development, evidence-based strategies and a trauma-informed approach, this essential content will equip you with best practices and a plan to responsively and resiliently embrace the uncertainties that lie ahead.
