About

This 13-page framework is about making schools better for students who have experienced trauma. It describes a system framework to help schools become trauma-informed. This means understanding and supporting students' emotional needs, creating safe environments, and training staff to recognize signs of trauma. The goal is to improve learning by helping students feel secure and supported at school. Schools can use this framework to build strong relationships with students, involve families, and work with the community. By doing so, they create a positive place where all children can learn and grow despite past challenges or experiences with trauma.
