Abstract

Awareness of trauma and the impact it has on children is a growing concern for schools in the United States. Exposure to trauma has been linked to challenges with learning, social/emotional health, and behaviors, all of which can negatively impact school experience and lead to issues with engagement and high school completion. We discuss suggestions for how school counselors can use a trauma-informed approach to implement systemic interventions, targeted interventions, and collaborative partnerships.
