It Takes a Village: Collaborating to Build a Trauma Responsive Schools Designation in Illinois |
The Melissa Institute CEU Request
Over the past decade, mental health professionals have promoted awareness of trauma responsive schools. Despite a plethora of training offerings, there is not a consensus on training content, method of delivery or training effectiveness. Similarly, there is little operationalization of the mechanics of trauma responsive schools. This presentation describes a collaborative effort to address this lack of consensus and to build a shared definition with operationalized metrics that diverse stakeholders can agree upon for Illinois. Presenters will share unique contributions to this process and provide an example to other states who may wish to pursue a similar path.
Learning Objectives:
Participant will be able to:
Articulate the importance of working toward operationalizing the definition and emerging best practices for trauma responsive schools (TRS)
Identify rationale for engaging multiple stakeholders in development of TRS including school and district level educators, school and community clinicians, community members and parents, and state/regional educational agencies.
Discuss important considerations when structuring a statewide Trauma Responsive Schools Designation.Implement and tailor evidenced-based prevention and treatment interventions in both an age and culturally sensitive manner.
