Trauma

Summary

• Archive: As an educator, you are faced with the challenge of meeting the social and emotional needs of all your students.

• This can be challenging enough with typical learners but it is even more difficult with those who have experienced trauma or have mental health challenges.

• Students who have experienced trauma often present as difficult to engage and display problematic behavior such as a low frustration tolerance, angry outbursts or difficult social relationships.

• These behaviors all get in the way of teaching and learning.

• When a student has experienced trauma, he/she often spends much of the day in fight/flight/freeze mode which limits their capacity to learn.
