Trauma Informed Practices

Course Description:

During the pandemic  many of our learners lost one loves. When a loved one passes away suddenly, the people left behind often experience traumatic grief. In order to deal with this intense kind of grief, addressing the social emotional needs of our students can be a helpful and healthy way to process painful emotions. In the session the participants will identify ways to address the emotional regulation, reduction of trauma symptoms and recognize learning skills to cope and manage trauma of students in the classroom.

• The participants will identify children’s literature which will assist students to “decrease symptoms” and “increase coping skills”. Participants will identify effectives to integrate these pieces of literature into their academic introduction.  The participants will reflect on their own social emotional journey throughout the pandemic, addressing their current state as they prepare for Fall return. In the reflection they will be encouraged ways to facilitate post-traumatic growth.
