What Are Trauma-informed Schools?

Trauma-informed schools are all about helping students who've been through tough times. They train teachers to understand trauma and how it affects kids. These schools create a safe and caring place where students can learn and grow. They focus on things like building trust, being kind, and teaching kids to handle their feelings. Instead of punishing, they try to help. And it's not just teachers; they get everyone involved, like families and the community, to support these students. Trauma-informed schools want all kids to feel safe, happy, and ready to learn, and this helps them do better in school and life.
