About

Advance your understanding of trauma and learn how to support traumatised children in the classroom with this Trauma-informed Education short course at La Trobe University.

Overview

About the course

This Trauma-informed Education short course at La Trobe University is an introduction to trauma theory and practice. Designed for educators and other professionals working in schools, the six weekly classes will introduce you to evidence-based approaches for working with traumatised students. You’ll explore a variety of interventions, pedagogies and practices that can help you better support children and help alter their life trajectories.

Trauma-informed education is an emerging field. It draws from the fields of psychology, neuroscience and public health, which have shown the profound impact of trauma on brain development and learning. Armed with this new research and understanding, educators and schools can create new policies and practices that improve wellbeing and learning outcomes for their students.

The course is recommended for all professionals working in schools, including principals, teachers, psychologists, speech therapists and other support services, including school counsellors and wellbeing staff. It’s been specially designed to equip them with the skills they need to safely and effectively support affected children.
