Workshop Description:
This session is designed to help schools better understand how students experience traumatic events and how to help them through this challenging time. The workshop components are as follows:
1. An Introduction to Trauma: This component covers the basics of trauma, what types of trauma students may face, and how trauma can affect a student’s physical, emotional, and cognitive abilities.
2. Managing Trauma in the Classroom: This component covers techniques to prevent a trauma based reaction in the classroom and what to do if a child is acting out in your classroom.
3. Increasing Developmental Assets: This workshop is for any adult who wishes to focus on the positive characteristics of children and nurture a path to thriving for all. The workshop will define the 40 Developmental Assets developed by The Search Institute, which have been proven to increase a child's cognitive, emotional, and physical well-being.
