What do we do when students stop showing up or start complaining? How do we respond when they share stories of personal struggles? How do we center student learning while coping with our own individual and collective struggles? This workshop will provide an introduction to trauma-informed approaches in higher education: what it means to be trauma-informed, why it’s important, and what it looks like in practice. We will also explore scenarios and strategies to recognize and reduce our own and others’ stress and to create environments that enhance our own and others’ learning and well-being. Participants will also be provided with resources to aid further exploration and professional development.
Typically, pre-conference workshops have anywhere from 10-25 attendees. As such, they are able to have a significant amount of interactivity.
Outcomes
Participants will be able to:
- Recognize signs and symptoms of stress
- Identify strategies for communicating with in ways that reduce stress
- Locate resources to support their students’ and their own well-being
