Prior to the pandemic nearly half of K-12 students had experienced enough trauma and adversity to impact learning and behavior. While we don’t yet fully know the impact of the disruption, unrest, and loss of the last 18 months, one thing is certain: what lies ahead is a tsunami-sized wave of stress and trauma, for everyone, as school resumes this fall. How can you prepare and ensure your staff holds a trauma-informed mindset and a trauma-responsive skill set to address the challenges ahead?

Watch this informative webinar as respected psychologist and educational consultant, Dr. Will Henson discusses the increased levels of dysregulation that students, caregivers, and staff are likely to experience as schools reopen this fall and what you can do to prepare appropriately. He also shares valuable trauma-informed strategies and best practices that will help educators and staff be able to:

• Focus on educator wellness
• Provide predictability
• Build strong, safe relationships
• Teach and model regulation and other social-emotional skills

and other trauma-informed approaches.
