Trauma & Trauma-Informed Systems

An Overview of Trauma

A traumatic event is when you experience the threat of death or serious injury to yourself or others. Trauma can result from an incident such as an overdose or accident, or from repeated acts such as violence or abuse.

Reactions vary widely, but can include extreme fear, shock, helplessness, and physical symptoms – all of which can significantly impact the health of individuals.

That's why it's important not only to support people, but also to create supportive environments that ensure individuals feel safe.

What is a Trauma-Informed System?

Creating trauma-informed environments can provide a foundation that supports those individuals who have experienced trauma or might be coping with a traumatic experience.

Why is a Trauma-Informed System Important?

A trauma-informed system allows schools and organizations to build and support mentally healthy and safe environments for themselves and others. 

The Role of Safety in a Trauma-Informed System

Here are some practical ways to think about how we design school spaces, for example, to ensure an optimal learning environment where students feel safe and are set up for success.
