The Impact of Trauma at School: Understanding, Assessment, and Intervention

Virtual Via Zoom

December 4th, 2025 - 8:30 am

Date:  12/4/25
Time:  8:30 - 10:00
Format: Virtual
According to data published in 2020 by the National Survey of Children's Health, an estimated 33 percent of children in every state have experienced at least one Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE). Individuals working in schools are becoming increasingly aware that many students are struggling with the psychological aftermath of exposure to trauma. By default, schools have become the frontline defense. They are tasked with recognizing students who have trauma-related symptoms and supporting them in overcoming their distress in order to promote academic learning and healthy social and emotional development. This training provides information about the impact of trauma on students' capacities to benefit from their educational programs, the signs and symptoms to look for when screening students for trauma-related problems, and assessment tips to help determine the extent to which a particular student's difficulties are likely related to traumatic experiences. A brief overview of evidence-based strategies to address trauma through school-based mental health services is also included along with resources to assist in service planning.
 

Intended Audience

  • School psychologists
  • General education and special education teachers, especially those who serve students with emotional/behavioral problems
  • School-based mental health professionals
Participants Will
  • Learn to screen for possible trauma-related problems and recognize some major signs and symptoms consistent with trauma which may be observed in students
  • Learn about evidence-based practices for addressing trauma through school-based mental health interventions
  • Gain an increased awareness of emotional functioning in order to help guide teams towards appropriate goals and interventions
