Description
This online event, presented by Paul Searle (Road Safety and Drug Education), will help teachers and student services staff gain a better understanding of trauma and its potential impacts on young people in a school context.
By taking a Trauma Informed Care and Practice (TICP) approach, school staff will have a better understanding of how to create an environment that addresses the specific needs and sensitivities of students who have experienced trauma.
The workshop also examines the links between trauma and alcohol and other drugs (AOD).
