DESCRIPTION
Studies show that more than 25 percent of American youth experience a serious traumatic event by the age of 16 and many children suffer multiple and repeated traumas. Common sources of trauma include abuse and neglect; foster care placement, death of a parent, parent incarceration, divorce, bullying, serious accidental injury; experiencing or witnessing violence in neighborhoods, schools, and homes; homelessness and treatment for life-threatening illness. A traumatic event can seriously interrupt the school routine and the processes of teaching and learning.
This workshop will provide an introduction to trauma as well as how to manage trauma in the classroom.
