Trauma & Resilience in Higher Education: Naming the Urgency, Envisioning Change, Sharing Tools

This one-day virtual live conference explores how every encounter area—from pedagogy to campus safety, advising to financial aid, facilities to college policies and administration— can be informed by recognizing the prevalence of trauma, adversity, and toxic stress and how these impact academic outcomes.

Trauma-informed education describes a perspective or lens through which practices and services are evaluated in view of lived experience, basic neurobiology, as well as research and findings on the power of resilience behaviors and interventions to build progressive, positive outcomes.
