Trauma-Informed Practices for K-12 Classrooms
This course is one step toward equipping educators to understand, recognize, and respond to the myriad of ways that trauma is present in our students and our schools. By understanding trauma and its impacts on learning, educators at all levels can be informed about and invested in responding effectively to students' diverse experiences.
Description
Over the past few years, we have seen a troubling increase in reports of children and youth struggling with their mental health. The isolation and disruption of COVID-19 have contributed to this problem, but there are other factors involved as well.
Children's mental health is affecting how we teach more than ever before. Teachers aren't just being asked, but can't do their jobs without addressing the mental health of their students. We know that mental health does not exist in isolation, but affects and is affected by many factors. What do teachers need to know, and how can they help?
This course provides some basic information about children's mental health, including the history of children's mental health policy; warning signs of mental health challenges; ways to address mental illness stigma; everyday strategies for promoting mental health; and helpful resources for children and youth, teachers, and families.
