A School's Journey Toward Trauma Sensitivity

There is a growing understanding of the need for trauma-sensitive schools among educators but we are often asked “how do you do it?” TLPI is pleased to share this 10 minute video highlighting one elementary school’s journey to create a trauma-sensitive, safe and supportive school by using the process-based approach outlined in Helping Traumatized Children Learn, Vol. 2.
Using a process-based whole school approach educators can create trauma-sensitive school cultures.
A trauma-sensitive school is one in which all students feel safe, welcomed, and supported and where addressing trauma’s impact on learning on a school-wide basis is at the center of its educational mission.
Engaging educators can empower them to develop creative solutions to locally identified problems.
This school is one of five schools that participated in TLPI’s two-year Trauma-Sensitive Schools Descriptive Study conducted by the American Institutes for Research. Outcomes of this study include:
• decreased office referrals and disciplinary incidents
• improved staff and student relationships
• positive changes in school climate as evidenced by reports of fewer crisis
• schools feeling “safer” and “calmer”
• more parent communication and engagement.
• increased staff cohesion

I've been researching this and there is CRT and Woke crap going on. This makes me nervous. Also creates chance for teacher student sexual relationships.
