Trauma-Informed Care Workshop - Elementary

Virtual Training

The Trauma-Informed Care Workshop for Educators focuses on providing an overview of trauma, and its impact on student behaviors in the elementary (K-5) classroom. Attendees will learn about the role of mental health in daily functioning, how trauma impacts the brain, the importance of unrecognized executive function deficits, and the role neuro diverse complexities play in student behavior. Throughout the workshop, participants will be provided with concrete strategies that can be implemented in a school and/or classroom setting to support all learners through a trauma informed lens.

Specific strategies that will be discussed:

  • How to identify changes in thoughts, feelings and behaviors
  • Maintaining structure, routine, and consistency
  • Using visual strategies to support routine and memory
  • Adopting one Social Emotional Learning strategy or program
  • Using calming and regulation strategies as a part of daily routines
  • Practicing co-regulation
  • Increasing movement during learning
  • Breaking down tasks to support executive function deficits
