Tips and Tools for Leveraging Trauma Informed Care Techniques to Reduce Stress for Students, Teachers, and Providers

While behavioral health providers and staff are particularly at risk for compassion fatigue, they are also in a unique position to enhance resilience among themselves and within their school communities by using trauma-informed care approaches. The National Council for Mental Wellbeing hosted a webinar on December 15, 2020 entitled “Tips and Tools for Leveraging Trauma Informed Care Techniques to Reduce Stress for Students, Teachers, and Providers” which explored trauma-informed care techniques that behavioral health providers, school staff, and caregivers can use to improve behavioral healthcare provided to students, and addressed traumatic stress occurring during the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. The webinar recording and accompanying slides are available for download.
