CREATING A CIRCLE OF COMPASSION: A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICE

  • Second Floor Classroom 265 Maitland Street London, ON, N6B 2Y3 Canada (map)

Facilitated By: Anne Martin, BA, MA in Special Education and Human Development

Children who have experienced complex, developmental trauma often struggle with regulation, which can be challenging; this might include physical aggression, verbal attacks, defiance, withdrawal, and even self-harm. What does it mean to be traumatised? And how can caring and responsive adults best support these children and collaborate effectively with their families? This workshop will provide a framework that helps caring professionals understand how trauma affects a child’s neurobiology, emotional regulation, relational abilities, and educational progress. We will further identify specific strategies that can be used to address these needs within the classroom and school environments and support a child’s ability to regulate.

Anne Martin is an educational consultant in the London, Ontario area following a career as a Principal, Vice Principal, Behaviour Intervention Specialist, Classroom Teacher, and Educational Assistant. Born in Washington DC, she received her BA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and her MA from The George Washington University.
