! Ensouling Our Schools: The TRC Call for Trauma Informed Care - Grades 6-12

Trauma informed schools and classrooms, in response to the TRC, have become a focus across Canada. Building a sense of safety, trust and belonging, emotional resilience and regulation, mental flexibility, and coping skills serves everyone. In this workshop, we will discuss different types of trauma, what we know from neuroscience about it’s impact on learning and behavior, and share strategies drawn from Indigenous models of healing and well-being, SEL, cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness that can support both educators and students to manage emotional stress and critical incidents. A teacher’s manual for classroom based programming will be provided.
