What’s Trauma Sensitivity Got to Do with It?

Virtual Convening Speakers:
Julie Avery and Ben Sacco

In this session Julie Avery and Ben Sacco will share insights about the factors they have seen make a difference to whole-school cultures across elementary through to high school in Victoria, Australia, and the elements that school professionals are saying have helped them become more aware of SEL and trauma-sensitivity issues, enabling a shift in attitudes, deepened knowledge and a change in practice and improved job satisfaction. Their work with schools includes parent and student voice. How this involvement was achieved, and what they had to say will be shared, along with ways student, parent, and teacher views aligned or differed.
