Trauma Aware Approaches to Education

Dr Judith Howard presents a Trauma Aware Approach to Education

The prevalence of children and young people who have lived through the harm of complex trauma is worrying and growing and many of these young Australians are sitting in classrooms and other learning environments across our country.

As a follow up to her previous presentation for ACSL in 2024, Judith will share practical strategies and approaches that are recommended to support trauma-impacted students, and will explain why these are recommended from a neuroscience and trauma-aware perspective. The previous presentation was recorded and can be viewed here.

She comes from an extensive career history with schooling in Queensland where she has worked as a teacher, guidance counsellor and behaviour support specialist and has held both regional and state leadership positions overseeing work in student behaviour support.
