Description

Students who have experienced trauma often present as difficult to engage and display problematic behavior such as a low frustration tolerance, angry outbursts, or difficult social relationships. If you’re a school-based community health clinician, you know traditional behavioral approaches to classroom management and a punitive approach to discipline simply are not effective. In this session, you’ll take a deep dive into the ACEs study, how trauma manifests in schools, and what you can do about it.
