Identifying Childhood Trauma and Adversity

In this training, Brya Hanan, a licensed family and marriage counselor + certified trauma professional, walks educators through the basics of Adverse Childhood Experiences including abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction. She discusses signs and symptoms that can alert educators to students who may be experiencing these adverse experiences as well as how these experiences affect the brain and behavior of our students. It is recommended that this training be followed by a second training by Brya called "SAFE: Trauma Informed Practices in the Classroom."
