7th Annual Anti-Violence Symposium

During this session, participants will delve into the multifaceted concept of trauma, exploring its manifestations both within and outside of the school environment. They will gain insights into the profound impact trauma can have on individuals and communities, as well as strategies for effectively mitigating its effects through trauma-informed approaches within school settings. Additionally, participants will develop an understanding of how school systems may inadvertently perpetuate or exacerbate trauma and harm, and they will be equipped with tools to identify such practices. By the session's end, attendees will be empowered to advocate for and implement alternative practices aimed at fostering healing, resilience, and positive outcomes for all students. Through this comprehensive exploration, participants will emerge better equipped to create safe, nurturing environments conducive to academic success and holistic well-being.
