Trauma can impact a child’s learning, behavior, emotions & relationships. Children & young people who have experienced trauma have little space left for learning. A constant state of tension & arousal can leave them unable to concentrate, retain & recall new information. Their behavior is often challenging in the school environment. In a Trauma-Informed, Parent-Child Education Model, children feel safe, unconditionally loved, understood & acknowledged. This model addresses students’ needs in a holistic way, teaching self-regulation, physical & emotional wellbeing, empathy & kindness.
