R7HSA 2019 Leadership Conference

Over the past decade, organizations and school systems have finally come to a consensus that trauma and toxic stress impacts children, families, school systems and communities in devastating ways. As a result, agencies and schools provide training and resources to educate and support their staff so they can respond compassionately and effectively to children. Training teachers is the easy part. What is not easy is training your leadership team to operate with each other and with your teachers in the same way. A trauma-informed system must include the leadership team and the system must be adjusted to include the values that are outlined in the classroom model.

Learning outcomes for this session include:

1. Apply trauma concepts to common leadership activities
2. Learn strategies for fidelity indicators for your model
3. Identify outcomes you hope to see from a fully embedded trauma-informed model
