Trauma-Sensitive Leadership: Creating a Safe and Predictable School Environment (A researched-based social-emotional guide to support students with traumatic experiences)

Lead a foundational shift in the way your school approaches student behavior. Trauma-Sensitive Leadership offers research-based, practical strategies for understanding and  supporting trauma-impacted students rather than "fix" them. Using  straightforward language, the authors illustrate how to integrate new  mindsets into daily practice to get to the core of critical issues like  social-emotional safety and wellness for students and adults alike.
Using this guide to address critical issues readers will: 

• Understand childhood trauma and the impact traumatic experiences have on both students and educators.
• Develop a trauma-sensitive attitude and mindset to help lead teachers in supporting students experiencing trauma.
• Examine  school structures and environments that support trauma-sensitive  practices while recognizing those that may contribute to trauma.
• Learn how to develop trusting and positive relationships with trauma-impacted students and their families.
• Plan and maintain a trauma-informed school beyond the initial years of implementation.
