Healing classrooms: Empowering Educators to Support Trauma Recovery.
Trauma is a complex and multifaceted experience that significantly impacts individuals, particularly children. It is essential for educators to understand that trauma can arise from various sources, including personal experiences, family dynamics, and societal factors. Childhood trauma often results from adverse experiences such as abuse, neglect, domestic violence, or the loss of a caregiver. These experiences can disrupt a child's sense of safety, leading to long-lasting emotional, psychological, and behavioral challenges. Recognizing the signs and effects of trauma is crucial for educators who aim to support healing and resilience in their students.
