Q5: How do you help students, specifically high school students, with multiple ACES understand how it impacts them and the changes in their brain because of trauma? (Articles, books, resources, etc.) #APChat
@jcwastler Most often done with staff working with specific students... but as the number of kids with anxiety/trauma increases we need to do more... hoping for resources from other leaders. #APChat
@jcwastler As issues arise we talk informally at our staff meetings to let people know what issues we are seeing. Often our social workers share information about what specific students experience, but want more regular ways to help us understand #APChat#mentalhealth#awareness
@jcwastler We are just starting this conversation at the district level using the book Trauma Stewardship by Laura Van Dernoot Lipsky. Anyone else read this?
@jcwastler Looking forward to what other leaders are providing for their staff and themselves. I am considering creating a space in our school for staff specifically for mindfulness/meditation/yoga etc. Also looking for ways to remind staff to take care of themselves. #selfcare4educators
