Building Resilience: Solutions to Address Trauma in Schools
Marlo Kozak
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v17 n1 p4-9 2025
Trauma significantly impacts students and educators, affecting learning, behaviour, and well-being. However, trauma-informed practices can promote resilience through school-wide strategies such as routines, SEL programs, and secure attachments. Classroom-specific approaches can support regulation and skill development by building emotional vocabulary and fostering empathy. Targeted interventions such as animal-assisted programs address greater needs. Supporting educators with professional development and debriefing opportunities reduces burnout and sustains these practices. By fostering safe, supportive environments, trauma-informed approaches can mitigate trauma's effects, enhancing academic and emotional success.
