Get Ready: Trauma-Informed Schools Conference 2023 Is Here!
Are you aware that the Trauma-Informed Schools Conference 2023 is right around the corner? If you care deeply about the well-being of students, then this is the event for you! The conference is set to take place from October 5th-7th, 2023.
Trauma-informed schools have become a staple of the education system worldwide. Studies have shown that the learning experience is significantly better when students’ emotional well-being is given top priority. Teachers and administrators with trauma-informed training are better equipped to understand how early-life experiences, social-emotional issues, and mental illnesses often interfere with a child’s ability to learn.
The Trauma-Informed Schools Conference 2023 is an event that’s being held to explore the different ways that best practices can be used in institutions of learning to promote mental health support while fostering growth and personal development.
Why Trauma-Informed Schools are Important
Before diving into the conference specifics, it’s imperative to understand the importance of Trauma-informed schools. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), such as abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction, have negative effects on children’s brains. Trauma inhibits learning and can cause emotional and behavioral problems throughout the child’s life.
Trauma-informed instruction provides schools with adequate preparation to recognize the signs of trauma, understand the needs of vulnerable students, and adopt evidence-based practices to improve the emotional well-being of children.
