2024 Trauma Aware Education 'Business Partner'
The 4th conference is planned to be bigger and better than ever and due to the increasing attention from across Australia and overseas, the conference will grow to be a three-day event in 2024!
Trauma-aware education draws from various bodies of research, including neuroscience, describing and analysing the impact of complex trauma on developing young bodies and brains, to inform a more effective means to educate and support young learners who have lived through complex trauma.
Trauma-aware education aims to help educators develop ways of understanding, believing, planning, and acting so that the harm that trauma exerts on the function of learners Is minimised or alleviated. It aims to improve education and life outcomes not only for trauma-impacted learners, but also for their classmates. It also aims to enhance the personal and professional wellbeing of those adults working hard to deliver inclusive education programs.
