Turnaround for Children Participates in Twitter Chat on Creating Cultures of Care Through Trauma-Informed Practice

Turnaround for Children participated in a Twitter chat hosted by America’s Promise Alliance focused on trauma-informed practice. The chat was held in support of a new research brief by America’s Promise Alliance titled Creating Cultures of Care: Supporting the Whole Child through Trauma-Informed Practice. Turnaround was a contributor to the brief alongside Alive and Well Communities, Better Together Central Oregon, Child Trends, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

A2. Many practices for students who’ve experienced trauma are suitable for all students. Science calls for the comprehensive development of each & every child through a #WholeChild Design, mapped to the way that children learn & their brains develop. #PromiseChat https://t.co/butT05xbs3

A3: Training should happen to understand and be aware of the effects and impact of trauma on the brain and power of resiliency and self-efficacy. However, it’s not only counselors and mental health workers who can provide trauma-informed supports – so can others! #PromiseChat https://t.co/k4vuUnALBR

A5: Relationships are the foundation, the key, the bread and butter, to supporting the healing process! It is often more critical for young people to have unwavering, supportive adult relationships than to receive clinical intervention when healing from trauma. #PromiseChat https://t.co/mD4znNW3V2

A6: Authentic teacher and principal engagement, with a commitment to shifting the culture and norms of the entire school, not simply changing practices, procedures, routines. #PromiseChat #EverySchoolHealthy https://t.co/5PSot5S4fE
