Join the Trauma-Sensitive School Movement

• Are you ready to change the temperature of your school’s behavioral climate? 
• Are you prepared to implement new strategies to help your staff connect with students and their families?
• Are you looking to empower your team to effectively de-escalate classroom problems before they become crises?

Make your school a place all children can learn and thrive with the skills you develop through the National Council’s Trauma-Sensitive Schools Learning Community. 

Connect with experts and professionals like you from schools across the nation and become part of a one-of-a-kind Learning Community in a year-long journey dedicated to creating healthier schools with a trauma-sensitive approach.

The Learning Community will kick-off in Dallas this July at the first of two in-person meetings. This is just the beginning. As a member of the Learning Community, you’ll benefit from a series of coaching calls and webinars, access to useful tools and resources, and join a listserv of peers and experts. You’ll learn to:

• Build a trauma-sensitive school that supports integrating evidence-based principles, policies and practices into your school’s cultural fabric. 
• Create safe environments where all students can learn.
• Nourish community partnerships that support children and families within the schools.
• Integrate trauma screening and assessment into a multi-tiered system of assessment and intervention.
• Increase compassionate and restorative practices as you minimize exclusionary discipline.
• Equip your staff with the skills they need to stay emotionally healthy and address secondary traumatic stress/compassion fatigue.

Want to learn more about the Learning Community? Register today for our informational webinar on February 28, 2018 at 3 p.m. ET. You’ll hear about how it works, expectations and commitments, and the benefits to you and your school and district.  And find Trauma-Sensitive Schools Learning Community materials here.
