Join Cynthia Booth, as she that delves into her learnings from her professional development leave on trauma informed approaches and their necessity in post secondary education, especially if you are teaching trauma content to your students. In this interactive session, she will introduce you to SAMHSA’s trauma-informed approach guiding you through the essential principles of trauma-informed care, emphasizing sensitivity, empathy, and resilience.

This is not a workshop about teaching trauma content to your students.  This workshop is focused on the process that we as educators, whether we teach trauma or not, can use as part of our pedagogy of care to create structured yet empowering classrooms. 

Workshop Objectives

• Teaching Trauma: Explore the critical need to integrate trauma-informed practices into educational settings.
• Being Trama-Centred:  Before discussing a framework, we need to define its focus.
• SAMHSA’s Framework: Learn SAMHSA’s six principles of a trauma-informed approach and the easy with which they can help transform your classroom.
• Practical Strategies: Collaborate with colleagues to unearth strategies for creating safe, supportive environments that promote healing and growth.
