How educators can help students navigate the weight of childhood trauma
In short: Educator Lisa Godwin shares her personal journey of overcoming trauma to demonstrate how teachers and counselors can support students through hardships by building relationships and sharing their own stories.
The video explores the profound impact of educator support, using Godwin's experience of finding her voice through a teacher and school counselor as a foundation. She suggests that educators can assist students and families by being observant of behaviors and actively listening to what students say or choose to omit.
With the CDC reporting that 50% of children have experienced childhood trauma, Godwin emphasizes that adolescents of all ages may be struggling. She advocates for developing strong relationships so students know they have an adult in their corner.
