  • Thank you everyone for your encouraging feedback! There are some positive things taking place at the new school I am teaching at this year. I recently attended one of their training’s and it was the first time I have heard a school acknowledge Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) study. They also discussed how trauma affects schools and what we can do as educators to mitigate their experiences. It’s also the first school I have worked for where the counselors are doing what school counselors are intended to be used for within public education. Educators are all about evidence based research, so we just need to continue working together to change the mental health language and help parents that are affected by their own trauma to end the cycles of generational trauma. It is nice to be with a school district that truly understands and are just as passionate as I am to help their students, especially their at-risk students.
