This special webinar is an opportunity to engage stakeholders in the education community in an important discussion about Trauma Informed Practices. In this new education climate, resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have more students and families in need of support through a trauma informed lens. Join us for a free online professional learning experience where we will explore the topic of trauma, the brain, and effective strategies to help teachers, students, and their families reach positive outcomes in school and at home. We are excited to be able to engage educators nationwide in this very important, relevant topic that will change the way we all think about learning and the brain.
