Objectives:

Understanding barriers: The audience will review and understand more clearly the current barriers to treating trauma in schools. They will better understand their positions and roles in the helping process in the academic setting, which will provide them with more confidence facing barriers. This will be accomplished through audience discussion and illustrated stories.
A Trauma Informed Experience: The audience will engage in experiential trauma-informed activities to improve their use of Trauma-Informed principles in their practice. The audience will accomplish this by participating in detailed exercises where they engage in self-reflection and self-evaluation.
Skills Practice: Using the Trauma Intervention Opportunity Map: The audience will learn and apply school trauma-informed interventions that consider both the boundaries present in the academic setting as well as several unused opportunities. This will include learning a new intervention that uniquely utilizes those unused opportunities. The audience will do this by evaluating video examples, practicing skills, and participating in case studies.

Abstract:
This workshop trains school professionals on how to treat youth with trauma while also uniquely and transparently addressing those frustrating academic barriers most trauma trainings seem to ignore. This workshop inspires professionals who feel limited and burnt out to see unused interventions and provides them an opportunity to practice them. It includes a Trauma-Informed experience and the introduction of a new treatment planning tool.

Statement of Need: Despite having trauma informed training, school staff and mental health professionals using trauma interventions still feel they lack the applications needed for helping a child in-the-moment. Agency barriers and unpredictable behavior makes theoretical objectives feel obsolete, which can lead to the use of ineffective interventions. This negatively impacts the adult's confidence in their helping position as well as the child's outcomes.
