What's it costing?

Are you seeing the impacts of trauma in your classroom?

Emotional Dysregulation

Trauma disrupts emotional regulation, hindering their capacity to engage in learning and relationships.

Regression

Trauma may result in regression to earlier developmental stages, affecting academic and social engagement.

Poor Academic Performance

Trauma negatively affects academic performance, often leading to declining grades and increased absenteeism.

Hyper-Vigilence

Students impacted by trauma may exhibit hyper-vigilance, impacting their ability to focus and engage in class.

Physical Health Issues

Trauma can cause physical health issues like headaches and stomach aches, potentially leading to less engagement in class and increased absenteeism.

Triggers

Classroom stimuli or situations can act as triggers, disrupting learning and requiring classroom adjustments.

Behavioural Issues

Trauma-related behaviour can manifest as disruptions, defiance, or risky actions, challenging the classroom environment.

Low Self-Esteem

Trauma can lower self-esteem, leading to motivation and participation challenges in the classroom.

Education should be rich and rewarding for everyone.

Whether you've been teaching for years or just graduated, if educational environments aren't delivering the outcomes you expected, it will not result in a rewarding experience for you as a teacher or the students in your care.

  • Are you feeling overwhelmed with outcomes and unsure about the best way forward?
  • Is dealing with challenging classroom behaviours leaving you feeling underprepared and needing evidence-based best practices?
  • Are you finding it difficult to coach your team members to teach and be well?

We understand how stressful these situations can be. When you engage with us, you'll have a supportive partner by your side to help you navigate these challenges and experience positive outcomes.

What you'll experience by engaging with us...

Increased job satisfaction

Trauma-informed training provides teachers with valuable tools to understand and support students who have experienced trauma. This type of training enables teachers to recognise the signs of trauma in their students and respond appropriately. By understanding the effects of trauma on students, teachers can create a safe and supportive learning environment that promotes healing and recovery. When teachers can positively impact their students' lives, it often increases job satisfaction and a more profound sense of purpose in their work.

Reduced stress and burnout

Educators who adopt trauma-informed strategies possess the necessary skills to effectively handle classroom dynamics and student behaviours that stem from traumatic experiences. This enhanced capability can lessen stress levels and mitigate the risk of burnout as teachers feel more confident and prepared to handle difficult situations.

Improved classroom management

Teachers must understand how trauma affects students' behaviour. This knowledge can help them implement more effective classroom management strategies, creating a more orderly and conducive learning environment that benefits teachers and students.

Clear professional development

Our trauma-informed education training program provides continuous professional development opportunities for teachers, leaders, and communities. By acquiring knowledge and expertise, teachers can broaden their skills and become more versatile educators. This enables them to enhance their professional growth and career prospects, ultimately benefitting the students they serve.

What students will experience...

Emotional Wellbeing Skills

Taking a trauma-informed approach can help create a safe and nurturing environment for students, allowing them to focus on personal development and learning while reducing anxiety and improving emotional wellbeing.

Increased Academic Performance

When students are assisted in overcoming the obstacles related to the trauma they have experienced, their academic performance usually improves. This support empowers them to participate more actively in their studies. It prepares them to handle academic difficulties, leading to improved grades and a more enjoyable educational journey.

Genuine self-confidence

Students tend to develop greater self-confidence in classrooms where trauma-informed teaching and wellbeing are a priority. This is because they begin to feel more in control of their lives and believe in overcoming challenges. As a result, their self-esteem is strengthened, and they may experience long-lasting positive effects.

Rewarding interpersonal relationships

A trauma-informed approach can improve communication skills, promote positive relationships with peers and adults, and result in healthier social interactions in future endeavours.
