Trauma can have a significant impact on a student’s ability to learn, socialize, and succeed in school. As educators, it is our responsibility to address trauma and support high-risk students. In this edWebinar, we explore what trauma is, how to identify it, common challenges faced by high-risk students, and strategies to support students in the classroom with practical exploration.

This recorded edWebinar is of interest to PreK-12 teachers, staff, and school and district leaders.
