Trauma Informed Learning

Trauma affects more students than many educators realise. Children who have experienced adverse events — family breakdown, abuse, neglect, loss, or community violence — carry those experiences into the classroom every day. Their behaviour, attention and learning capacity are all shaped by what has happened to them outside school.

This course gives you a practical, evidence-based framework for understanding trauma and its effects on the developing brain and nervous system. You will learn how to create a classroom environment where every student feels safe, seen and supported — regardless of their background.
