Wisconsin state agencies end year one of trauma-informed learning community; goal is to be first trauma-informed state

They ask "What happened to you?" rather than "What's wrong with you?" as a frame when they create juvenile detention centers where kids don’t fight, reduce...

Leckey - That's a great question. Self-care for teachers is a key component and maybe the best starting place for trauma-informed approaches in schools. The Heart of Learning includes a chapter on self-care. The Wisconsin Trauma-Sensitive Schools online modules (not on the list) includes a module on self-care.
