Trauma-Informed Practices: An Overview of Trauma on Youth (IU8-29)


Description
Research suggests that nearly a quarter of students have witnessed violence in their homes, schools, and communities in the past year. Also, two-fifths of children aged 17 and younger witness violence at some point in their lifetime. As integral individuals in the lives of the children we serve each day, it is important that we understand trauma and its impact on our youth, families, and ourselves. As a result of this learning path, you will be able to recognize the signs of trauma in students, recognize the signs of the impact of secondary trauma on school employees, and explore a myriad of resources and best practices regarding trauma-informed approaches that should be considered across a Multi-Tiered Systems of Support.

Please note: This course is designed as a 5-hour learning experience.
