Abstract
According to recent reports, nearly half of students who attend college counseling sessions say they have experienced trauma, and rates of post-traumatic stress disorder more than doubled among college students from 2017 to 2022. While instructors are not counselors and cannot treat students’ mental health concerns, it’s important to be aware of how trauma manifests in our classrooms and how we can mitigate its impacts on teaching and learning. In this workshop, we’ll examine the effects of trauma and develop strategies to support five components of trauma-aware teaching: safety; trustworthiness and transparency; peer support; collaboration and mutuality; and empowerment, voice, and choice. Lunch will be provided for registered participants.
