The Supportive Classroom - Trauma-Sensitive Strategies for Fostering Resilience and Creating a Safe, Compassionate Environment for All Students

One in four children has witnessed or experienced a traumatic event that can affect behaviour and learning. But school can be a safe, stress-free environment that can actually reduce bad behaviour, foster resilience, and heal trauma. The Supportive Classroom shows teachers and educators how they can provide the different types of trauma-aware support that each student needs. Written by two experienced school psychologists, The Supportive Classroom offers an easy-to-understand overview of trauma, empathy, and self-care paired with proactive and reactive tools that can be implemented in the classroom right away.
