As American returns to school, “History. Culture. Trauma.” podcast hosts Ingrid Cockhren, PACEs Connection CEO, and Mathew Portell, director of communities, continue with their series of education-related, back-to-school podcasts.
The second installment features an encore episode award-winning “relentless” school nurse, Robin Cogan, MEd, RN, NCSN, FNASN, FAAN.
“In recent years, COVID-19, school shootings, affirmation of the identity of LGBTQ students, institutional racism, critical race theory, teacher burnout and parent's rights have transformed America's schools into traumatizing places and cultural battlegrounds. As a result, students, teachers and administrators are experiencing poor mental health, traumatic stress and burnout,” said Cockhren.
To determine how our nation's schools have come to this point and what can be done about it, Cockhren and Portell interview school professionals to discuss the school experience of educators, parents, students, staff and medical professionals from a trauma-informed perspective. Podcasts in this series focus on a variety of topics, including historical trauma.
Cogan is a Nationally Certified School Nurse (NCSN) in her 23rd year as a New Jersey school nurse in the Camden City School District. She has served as the New Jersey State School Nurses Association director to the National Association of School Nurses. She, Cockhren, and Portell discuss concerns and opportunities and the need for trauma-informed supports and solutions.
