Trauma Informed Schools:  What are they and what can psychologists do to support them? 
Trauma informed practices are increasingly important given the current pandemic and socio-political situation. This workshop would begin by briefly reviewing a bioecological model of trauma followed by a discussion of how trauma impacts the academic, social, and behavioral functioning of children and youth. One of the key elements of Trauma Informed Schools (TIS) involves establishing collaborative working relationships with community mental health providers, including psychologists. In this workshop participants will have an opportunity to learn about the principles and practices of Trauma Informed Schools and what role psychologists can play in collaborating with schools to support the recovery and development of children and youth who have experienced traumatic life events.

Learning Objectives
By completing this program, participants will able to:
1.  identify the principles and practices of Trauma Informed Schools
2.  recognize how cultural, historical and gender issues can impact trauma response
3.  identify the role and function of community psychologists in TIS
4.  identify effective mechanisms of collaboration with schools to support children and families with trauma experiences
5.  utilize culturally responsive, collaborative practices to support underrepresented children, teens and their families
