School Safety: What Works?

Creating Trauma-Sensitive School Cultures that Benefit Educators and Students           
Currently student's ability to manage day-to-day at school, meet academic workload demands, and engage in positive relationships has been compromised by their decreasing sense of connection with school. Schools report students’ declining attendance rates, escalating anxiety and depression, along with increases in disruptive behavior. At the same time, there are growing concerns about educators’ well-being. TLPI’s work offers a possible solution: creating trauma-sensitive school cultures that engage students as well as educators through strengthening community, relationships, and trust, where all experience a true sense of belonging.
