Event Groups:
• Greene County Educational Service Center - Professional Development
Description:

The Trauma-Informed approach helps create a safe and responsive school environment that improves self-regulation, reduces behavioral problems and enhances student engagement. By adopting a Trauma-Informed approach, schools undertake a paradigm shift at the staff and organizational level to understand, recognize and address the needs of students who are impacted by trauma. 

Trauma is a pervasive, damaging and costly public health problem that is a near- universal experience for students with severe social, emotional and behavioral problems. Trauma damages the parts of the brain that students most need for school and life success.
