TWO-DAY INTENSIVE | March 25-26 | Hershey, PA
WHAT SCHOOLS ARE UP AGAINST
The weight on schools have never been heavier.
Educators are carrying more than ever.
Staff are stretched thin.
Behavioral and attendance challenges continue to disrupt learning.
Students and families are carrying the weight of trauma every day.
Educators are feeling the weight of trauma’s daily impact — and many don’t feel equipped to respond.
This is the reality.
But it’s also the reason this work matters more than ever.
"This is not what I was taught. I was trained to teach language arts, math, and social studies — but not how to support students carrying trauma. I earned my masters degree not long ago, and this training was eye-opening." - Educator
Why Attend
I would recommend this training to other educators because it provides essential insights into the challenges students face and it challenges us to create supportive, empathetic learning environments. The session pushes you to deepen your understanding of trauma’s impact on behavior and learning, helping educators respond effectively and compassionately.

“Connections! I work hard to connect with my students, and today validated how much that matters.”
Principal – Ann Arbor Public Schools
“This validated many of my beliefs and practices. The biggest takeaway is that we need to continue building systems of support — and in the meantime, take practical, even small, steps to create trauma-informed environments where students feel safe.”
Insights from recent attendees

“The need to continue developing systems that support proactive relationship-building, which will reduce the need for reactive interventions.”

Assistant Dean – Ann Arbor Public Schools
“Being intentional about how and with whom we connect each day — and holding my team accountable for creating those bids for connection thoughtfully.”
