trauma-sensitive schools

Trauma-Sensitive Schools (TSS) are educational environments designed to recognize and respond to the impact of trauma on students' learning and behavior. These schools create safe, supportive atmospheres that foster resilience and healing. They train staff to understand trauma's effects, promoting empathy and patience. Instead of solely focusing on discipline, TSS prioritize emotional support and connection, helping students feel secure and engaged. By addressing the root causes of challenging behaviors, these schools aim to enhance academic success and overall well-being, ensuring all students have the opportunity to thrive despite their past experiences.
