10 Things You Need To Know About Childhood Trauma 1. Kids who have experienced trauma aren t trying to push your buttons. 2. Kids who have been through trauma worry about what s going to happen next. 3. Even if the situation doesn t seem bad to you, it s how the child is feeling that matters. 4. Trauma isn t always associated with violence. 5. You don t need to know exactly what caused the trauma to be able to help. 6. Kids who experience trauma need to feel they are good at something and can influence the world. 7. There is a direct connection between stress and learning. 10
11 8. Self-regulation can be a major challenge for students suffering from trauma. 9. It s OK to ask a child directly what you can do to help them through the day. 10. You can help kids with trauma even when they re outside the school environment. (Weareteachers.com retrieved 3/3/16) 11
12 Trauma Informed Services Trauma-Informed Services involve understanding, anticipating, and responding to issues, expectations, and special needs that a person who has been victimized may have in a particular setting or service. (Moses, Reed, Mazelis, & D Ambrosio 2003) Basis of Informed Services: Safety Trustworthiness Choice Collaboration Empowerment Environmental Safety Placement in the room Be sensitive to environmental triggers Get physically on the student s level Avoid loud, unexpected noises Provide breaks for physical movement and free time Provide a safe place for the child to talk about what happened Give simple, honest, realistic answers to questions about traumatic events 12
13 Emotional/Sensory Safety Develop and announce predictable routines and schedules Observe and intervene in other children s behavior Speak in a even, slower voice; Avoid shouting and other loud noises Alert students to any safety drills, or other activities which are out of the ordinary Trustworthiness Let students know what is expected, and why Keep your word! When you can t, explain why Words count..choose them wisely and kindly Set clear, firm limits for inappropirate behavior Anticipate difficult times 13
14 Choice Allow students choices when possible Flexibility in scheduling Make accommodations when possible: Shorten assignments Allow additional time Permission to leave class to get support Additional support for organizing and remembering assignments Collaboration Collaborate with the parents and guardians when safe to do so Collaborate with other school personnel If you have to report abuse, tell the student why Recommend tutors, if needed Know about available community resources 14
15 Empowerment Teach the child coping skills Praise often Find things the student does well, and give an opportunity to do those often Point out safety features, plans Help student safety plan The Cost of Caring Recognize compassion fatigue as an occupational hazard. Be aware of the signs. Reach out for help. Ask for help from colleagues. Seek help for your own traumas. Attend to self care. 15
