the types of trauma student’s face and how trauma can affect student’s
physical, emotional and cognitive abilities. They will then discuss techniques to prevent a trauma based reaction in
the classroom and what to do if a child is acting out. Participants will use the Search Institutes

keep balance and continue to help students in need.
