In the U.S., more than two thirds of children will experience at least one traumatic event before they’re 16 years old. As a caring adult, you can create safe, healthy environments that allow children to heal and thrive. Here are six ways you can create a trauma-informed classroom:

🕛 Maintain predictable routines
🙂 Create safe, inclusive spaces
🗣️ Normalize talking about feelings
💬 Use positive language
📢 Promote consent and boundaries
🤝 Encourage students to support each other
