When Tragedy Strikes: How School Staff can Support Children in Their Care
Access This WebinarWe never know when a school or community tragedy may strike. School staff are not always trained to provide support for students that have been exposed to such events. This webinar will review common symptoms in children with trauma exposure, their effects on their social-emotional state, and how we can support them once they return to school.
Participants will be able to:
- Identify the symptoms of trauma in students.
- Describe how tragic events affect the mental health of students.
- Identify and describe support for students affected by traumatic school events.
- Describe reintegration strategies for students returning to school post-tragedy.
- Identify resources available for students that have been exposed to traumatic events.
