Network is full. We have reached our capacity of teams for this year.

As an educator, you face the impact of trauma in your school every day. Whether it is acute or complex trauma, those experiences disrupt brain activity and can lead students to exhibit disruptive and/or disengaged behaviors. This year-long cohort (6 sessions) requires a team of five* building representatives which could include, but are not limited to: building leader, classroom teacher, counselor, special education teacher, school nurse, school resource officer, etc. School representatives must attend all six sessions.

We will use the Missouri Model for Trauma-Informed Schools to address the underlying causes of trauma, identify student responses and implement highly effective school-wide systems of support.
*School wide teams will be based on the student population.

Session 1) Intro to Trauma - before school starts, Aug 11
Session 2) Reframing Responses to Trauma - first quarter*
Session 3) Missouri Model Implementation - second quarter*
Session 4) Emotional Poverty Part 1 - third quarter*

Session 6) Data Analysis, Reflection, and Next Steps - after close of school year*

Fee is $200 per team per session ($1,200 total per team); $50 per session for each additional person. Lunch included.
