Trauma-Informed Teaching to Support High-Risk Students
Trauma can have a significant impact on a student’s ability to learn, socialize and succeed in school. As social workers and educators, it is our responsibility to incorporate trauma-informed practices into our teaching to support high-risk students. With the right balance of care, compassion and knowledge, we can help the next generation to heal and thrive.
This webinar is of interest to PreK-12 teachers, staff, and school and district leaders.
In this one hour webinar, you’ll learn:

- Common challenges faced by high-risk students
