Understanding and Healing from Trauma: A Course for Educators
Are you finding that your students are entering your classrooms more stressed, less emotionally intelligent, and further behind in their development than before?
Do your teachers feel more overwhelmed teaching? Are they constantly complaining about a lack of quality training?
HeartBridge might just have the solution.
Understanding and Healing from Trauma: A Course for Educators
HeartBridge Collective has developed a training course to help educators better understand how trauma affects their students and guide them on their journey to healing. In this course, we discuss what trauma is, how it affects our bodies and brains, and ways that we can learn how to heal.

What Do Teachers Need to Know?
To help teachers maximize their time and ability to take what they are learning and translate it into their classroom, we use the following methods.
Toxic Stress
Educators learn how to identify when stress begins to negatively impact their students.
How Trauma Affects the Brain
Educators gain an understanding of how trauma affects the brain and normal, healthy functioning.
Adverse Childhood Experiences
Educators learn how to identify when a student has a high ACEs score and how to get them help.
How to Develop a Trauma-Informed Classroom
Educators learn how to develop Trauma-Informed strategies to help students feel safer and give them room to heal and grow.
Trauma
Educators learn to identify the signs of trauma, as well as possible triggers and responses that students often have in reaction to events.
Practical Solutions for Classroom Implementation
Educators learn practical solutions that they can use to help their students navigate toxic stress, adverse situations, and the negative effects of trauma.

Effective
Our course was developed using proven methods of working with trauma survivors, including the CDC and SAMHSA.

Research shows that child trauma survivors can be more likely to have long-term health problems. The more we can do to offer them care and healing, the more we can ensure they have a healthy life.
