Consultation and Trainings
Trauma effects both the teacher and the student. Students can struggle with
learning, reading, memory, and being prepared for class. Children who have
faced trauma often are impulsive, act out and have behavioral problems. This
can impact teachers, making it difficult for them to teach, creating constant
interruptions in class. Most teachers will have more then one student in their classes
with symptoms of trauma.
However, there are powerful tools a teacher can use to build trauma safe curriculum and develop trauma focused behavioral interventions for classroom management. Trauma safe schools provides trainings, consultation groups, individual consultation about students for teachers and administrators. These can be powerful tools to support effective education. When stress levels get high enough the "learning brain" shuts down. However, there are many things teachers can do to help the "learning brain" come back online.
We also offer consultation and change management for educators and administrators seeking to support the development of trauma safe curriculum in their schools. The numbers of children who face overwhelming life events each year are virtually pandemic. Unrecognized trauma can change a child's life leading to increased risk of poor grades, failure, dropping out, expulsions and addiction. It does not have to be this way.

Services
- Program evaluations: Our program evaluations are tailored to your program's individual needs. We develop site specific program evaluations tailored to gather data about outcomes, impact of trauma on learning, basic needs assessments, and outcomes measures for established programs.
- Trauma Safe Schools for Educators Trainings: Educators are often on the front lines facing many challenges with students. Currently, the pressure on educators is growing to take on more roles, with less resources and meet national educational goals. TSS courses support educators to develop effective, simple and easy to use tools for curriculum development and class room management.
- Trauma Safe Schools for Administrator Trainings: We offer multiple training opportunities for administrators to assess the impact of trauma and vicarious trauma on their school. We offer two hour, four hour, one day and multiday trainings.
Administrators will leave the training with practical tools and insights for their educational institution and ways to build trauma safety into their organization. - Change Support Monitoring: Change requires support. This process is developed to support schools attempting to create trauma safe programs. We offer initial evaluation and needs assessment, development of a site-specific trauma safe program, and an implementation plan. We also provide ongoing support for the implementation process as well as establishing long-term and short-term outcomes measurement of the efficacy of the change. Contact us for more information.
