Creating Trauma-Responsive Schools Training

  • Learn how to Disarm Fear, Improve Behaviour, and Optimise Learning for Vulnerable Tamariki and Rangatahi in your Classroom.
    In today's educational landscape, educators and teacher aides grapple with the profound impact of complex developmental trauma on tamariki and rangatahi, creating a pressing need for effective support strategies. At Immerse, we recognise the urgency of adopting a trauma-informed approach to teaching, which is critical for navigating the unique challenges presented by individual tamariki.

    Our innovative training, 'Creating Trauma-Responsive Schools', is designed to empower educators with the tools they need to comprehend and respond effectively to the behavioural nuances resulting from trauma. Grounded in Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®) and trauma-informed teaching, this programme equips educators with practical strategies tailored to nurture a conducive learning environment.

    A calm brain is the optimal state for learning. Through our Teacher and Teacher Aide Training, participants delve into the evidence-based practices of TBRI®, unlocking a profound understanding of how complex developmental trauma impacts the neurology and physiology of tamariki and rangatahi. Armed with this knowledge, educators gain access to a comprehensive toolbox of strategies aimed at fostering regulation, engagement, and academic success.
