A Trauma Lens: Helping mentors understand and implement a trauma-informed approach with mentees and families.
1 in 4 children has experienced a traumatic event that affects their behavior, emotions, and ability to learn. For you as a mentor, this translates to students who have defiant behavior, a lack of emotional regulation, self harm (such as cutting/ burning), bullying, etc.
In this workshop you will learn what trauma is, how it affects children developmentally, why it is important for you as a mentor to have a trauma lens, and skills for you to help your mentee.
