TRAUMA-INFORMED PRACTICE IN SCHOOLS WEBINAR
from adversity to achievement
with Ben Sacco, The MacKillop Institute
WEBINAR OVERVIEW
QELi in partnership with The MacKillop Institute, is pleased to offer the Trauma-informed practice in schools webinar.
There is a growing recognition nationally and internationally, in schools and educational organisations that complex childhood trauma has a detrimental impact to the developing body and brains during early childhood.
Research tells us that adverse childhood experiences negatively impact a child’s ability to learn and engage with schooling in a productive manner and given the large amount of time that children spend at school, teachers have been identified as important stakeholders when helping children in the process of recovery and healing.
This increase in evidence regarding trauma-informed practice within schools is very promising. This webinar provides a short overview of current practices and how they can be consistently employed and adapted for all children.
If we could collectively achieve this perhaps there would be a generation of children grow up with increased self-regulation, improved academic and social development, and better mental and physical health outcomes into adulthood.
WEBINAR OBJECTIVES
Through completion of the webinar participants will:
- learn about building collaborative communities that shift attitudes, beliefs and behaviours about childhood adversity
- hear about why schools are a critical system for delivering evidence-based interventions
- reflect on current practice in schools and how to create safe and predictable learning environments, reframing our approaches
- deepen their understanding of how to create the preconditions for improved teaching, learning and wellbeing and the application of research into daily practice.
WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE
The program is suitable for all educators.
