TRAUMA AWARE SCHOOLING | Sunday 15th and Monday 16th October 2017 in Brisbane.
There is a growing awareness that a school student’s experience of complex trauma (e.g. physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse, serious neglect, violence, etc.) can have a serious impact on school behaviours, attendance, engagement and (therefore) educational and life outcomes. To address this, government departments and many non-government agencies are increasingly encompassing what is now referred to as trauma-informed practice when supporting or working with children and adolescents.
