Trauma in the Classroom
Navigating trauma in the classroom is complex. Knowing what our children need can be overwhelming. Learn from a mom of nine jewels (seven with both special needs and trauma) who has been doing it effectively for many years. As a school counselor of 18 years, this mom’s insights and knowledge is invaluable.
