Trauma Informed Teaching for Faculty: Neuroscience of Trauma

Introduction

This month we are focusing our trauma-Informed teaching training with an important foundational knowledge of how trauma affects the brain.  It is important for us to recognize the impact trauma has on how the brain is formed, how it functions, and how it can begin to heal.

Michelle shares with us in her article featured in Counseling Today, October 2022 issue, entitled "The neurobiology of resilience: Neurocounseling bridging the brain and behavior".  Please take time to read and learn from her years of research, training, and experience working with educators.
