Trauma-Informed Schools

Trauma-Informed Schools recognize that many students may have experienced difficult or upsetting events that affect their behavior and learning. These schools create a safe, supportive environment by understanding trauma’s impact and integrating practices that promote trust, emotional safety, and resilience. Instead of punishing students for behaviors linked to trauma, educators focus on understanding their needs, fostering positive relationships, and providing consistent support. This approach helps students feel secure, engaged, and more likely to succeed academically and socially, ultimately promoting healing and well-being for all students.
