Trauma Informed Teaching

Saturday March 28th 10a.m.-3p.m. 

If children feel safe and connected to their teachers, they will be able to learn and cope better at school.

This program is a new experiential program that has been developed to support teachers to create an environment in their classrooms where children who have experienced trauma can learn to connect better to safe adults, build friendships and reach their full potential.

This program takes place over 3 days training and full attendance is compulsory. Your time with a child over a school year can last a life time and set seeds for that child to believe they matter, ask for help and blossom like all children should.

Teacher- “I am a trauma informed teacher” 

Child- “My teacher understands me and cares”
