This training demonstrates the difference in brain functioning between traumatized and non-traumatized individuals when a trigger causes the perception of threat (whether real or not). It focuses on a two pathway Road Resilience Model that includes the "Eight Essentials" that foster secure relationships that help students feel safe and daily practices that foster interoceptive intelligence to increase emotional regulation, focus, and empathy.
Many educators have heard the adage, "if we screen, we must intervene." However, despite the abundance of screening data available, school teams find it challenging to find an evidence-based intervention match aligned with students' needs. This virtual training will review evidence-based interventions to address commonly identified needs for students at promise within AEDY placements. Important considerations, including resource allocation, intervention fidelity, and generalization will also be addressed.
