Trauma-Informed College Readiness
Schools are increasingly trauma-informed: they work hard to create a stable environment, with a welcoming, inclusive culture and clear feedback from adults.
The problem: the college process is characterized by rejections and acceptances, a changing environment, and mysterious processes, the precise opposite of the “trauma-informed” environment. This problem ends up hurting the school culture, as the college process begins early.
In this course, you will learn how to create a college process that enhances your school’s culture; a trauma-informed college process is a more inclusive process.
