Description:
Compassion Fatigue from students experiencing trauma is weighing on the hearts and minds of
educators. We are not therapists, so how can we respond to provide the best educational
experience to help our children learn and heal? This one-day interactive workshop will give you an
overview of trauma and the effects it can have on our students. We will explore adverse childhood
experiences (ACEs) and the research behind it, toxic stress and how our stress response system
works, and trauma’s impact on the brain. We will then go into resilience-building strategies for
schools and programs to consider as they work with students. The presenter will be from the NC
Center for Resilience and Learning.
