Hi Leony,

You may want to take a look at the responses on this recent thread:

We, also, have a page on Evidence-based Programs:

You could use our book "supporting and educating traumatized students" oxford university press.

We have taught several online classes and integrated this material into professional development offerings in a very large school system.

If you have a serious interest email me at rvhull3@hotmail.com

send me your email to rvhull3@hotmail.com

Dear Susan,

That would be great if you could send me one. You can send it to:

Zonnehuizen, Leony Coppens

Torenstraat 172

2513 BW Den Haag 

The Netherlands

Thanks!

I'll mail it out today. I've given many workshops to teachers, school staff on trauma and its effects on learing. I'm very interested in the topic and would be happy to help you with the curriculum you are developing.

Regards.

Susan

That is really good to hear! We have given some workshops for teachers and  many for parents and health care professionals but we haven'd developed the wright curriculum yet for teachers. By coincidence I received the first formal question of a school today for a workshop on traumatized children in the classroom. My e-mailadress is L.Coppens@casema.nl. 

That would be great too!

Thanks!

i have several powerpoints that i can send you do you have an email that can handle a lot of K's

Hi Leony-

You may find my book "Reaching and Teaching Children Who Hurt: Strategies for Your Classroom" a good overview of a curriculum for teachers. I am happy to send you a copy if you email me your contact information.

Hi Leony,

In case the replies below don't mention them, the Trauma & Learning Policy Institute in Massachusetts is doing amazing work!  They have a (free) PDF  of their first handbook on trauma-informed schools.  They'll be coming out with a second soon.  Here's the link: http://www.massadvocates.org/download-book.php

Thanks,

Jeanie

Thanks a lot!

Forgot to point out earlier that we have an Education section in our Resource Center.

Susan,

the Chicago Y is looking at integrating trauma informed care into their programming, would you be able to provide some information about your book so we could take a look at it? Karen Rowan, YMCA Metro Chicago, 801 North Dearborn, Chicago 60610. thanks so much

thank you so much! I can give you a call next week, leaving for a conference tomorrow morning.

Hi Karen-

I'd be happy to send you a copy of my book. Just as an FYI, I did some work with the Army Child Care System for their afterschool programs. I'd love to talk to you about that.

I'll get a book out to you this week.

Susan

We use Susan's book in our educating traumatized students graduate class and the teachers all think it is extremely valuable and they get a lot out of it.

I would highly recommend it

Check out the Alternatives to Violence Project and Help Increase the Peace. They are related experiential programs that can be adapted for class room transformation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14LkAnKAsa4

You might also look at this manual from Washington State on Compassionate Schools "Compassionate Schools benefit all students who attend but focus on students chronically exposed to stress and trauma in their lives. These schools create compassionate classrooms and foster compassionate attitudes of their school staff.": http://www.k12.wa.us/CompassionateSchools/
