Interprofessional Collaborations To Create Trauma-Informed Learning Environments For Traumatized Children


Listen Later

Some traumatized children will see the school environment as challenging and trigger traumatic stress reactions. Others may view the school environment as a source of security and continuity. Either way, the school should be safe to all, and in this episode, host, Althea T. Simpson, discusses the need to collaborate with educators to create trauma-informed learning environments. She talks about the ability of a child’s brain to change from being traumatized and re-orienting educators on their responses to a child’s trauma, which are more physiological than psychological. Traumatized children may be under a lot of stress that can cause their system to shut down; this includes their ability to focus or concentrate, affecting their ability to learn. Join Althea in this discussion to become more informed about how to better create learning environments for traumatized children and more.
