A Trauma Lens Across Schools
Through our Trauma Consultancy Service in schools (P-12), we support and assist teachers to identify, understand and respond to the impact of trauma on the whole child in a way that recognises the important role of secure and positive relationships in the developing needs of children and young people.
Our aim is to increase the students’ experience of physical and emotional safety, both within the school environment and the relationships around them, in order to optimise opportunities for learning.
Our consultants understand the challenges, complexities and responsibilities that come with educating and caring for children and young people who have experienced trauma.
We believe that the relationship between teacher and child or young person plays a crucial role in contributing not only to the young person’s educational, social and emotional development, but additionally their wellbeing.
Across the service period, consultants support educators to reflect upon, analyse and evaluate observations, experiences and behaviours to inform practice and interventions with children.
Our Trauma Consultancy Service in Schools can be tailored to suit the needs of each individual school to ensure that we can deliver the best outcomes for each school community.
Additionally, our Trauma Consultancy Service in Schools can be adapted to service three to six schools in a Community of Practice. This Community of Practice can be a focus on support for Wellbeing Staff members, or a support for nominated teachers across a group of schools. The CoP is designed to share knowledge and experiences and reflect on the benefits of a trauma informed program. Our CoP is designed to include initial training as a group, followed by monthly sharing of case presentations and discussion regarding practice themes.
By working closely with schools across time, the program:
