A Trauma-Informed Approach to Supporting Students on Campus
April 18th, 2024 | 12:00 p.m. EST - 1:15 p.m. EST | $395
In this webinar, gain knowledge and strategies to help college educators to respond appropriately to students who have experienced trauma.
Why This Topic Matters
Covid led to increased incidences of trauma, which has caused greater awareness of the impact of trauma on individuals and society--and college students are by no means an exception. Many of today’s college students experienced trauma during Covid. Others experienced trauma prior to Covid and/or before starting college. Students risk experiencing new trauma during their time on campus. To understand the prevalence of trauma on today’s college students, consider these pre-Covid statistics:
66% of incoming first-year students report having experienced a traumatic life event (Read et al,, 2011).
62% of adults report having experienced at least one potentially traumatic event before they turned 18 (CDC, 2019).
Training educators about trauma and responding appropriately to trauma has shown to decrease students’ anxiety, depression and help them get the support they need to heal while also persisting in school.
