Trauma-Informed Transitions: Class to Class, School to Break, Break to School, and More!

If you have taught for even one day, you know that some of the toughest moments are transitions: entering and exiting the classroom, shifting from lunch back to class, the Friday before a break, the dreaded Monday after a break, and even small transitions between activities.

For trauma-affected kids, transitions can be even more challenging. Disrupting a hard-earned sense of emotional regulation and safety with "now it's time to head to the library"? Oof. It can be rough!

But with a trauma-informed lens, there are so many things we can do to make things run smoother! In this workshop, we''ll:

• Develop an understanding of why transitions can be so hard for trauma-affected kids (and communities)
• Learn about "felt safety" and how it can look during transitions
• Apply the four priorities of predictability, flexibility, connection and empowerment to our transition routine designs 

Come to the workshop ready to ask questions and share ideas! 

My pay-what-you-can workshops are relaxed, interactive, and conversational. We take our learning seriously but we have fun too!
