trauma-informed education

Trauma-informed education is an approach that recognizes and responds to students' experiences with trauma, such as abuse, neglect, or stressful life events. It creates a safe, supportive learning environment by understanding how trauma can affect behavior, emotions, and learning. Teachers are trained to be sensitive to students’ needs, avoid triggers, and foster trust. The goal is to help students feel secure and empowered so they can focus on education without being overwhelmed by past trauma, ultimately promoting emotional well-being and academic success.
