Children can experience a variety of minor and major traumas that can impact their mental and physical health, behavior, and academic performance. How do different traumatic experiences affect children's nervous systems, bodies, and behavior? How can we recognize the signs of trauma and support children within our institutions?

One of the most meaningful expressions of a Christian worldview is how we respond to challenging behavior. As educators and administrators, our responses shape school culture, influence relationships with students and parents, and reflect our core values and beliefs. This course explores how a restorative, trauma-informed approach can help prevent and reduce challenging behavior, while providing a biblically grounded framework for responding effectively when it occurs.
Restorative practices provide a framework for addressing both individual behavioral challenges and interpersonal conflict, but it is even more than that. “The restorative approach is a way of being with others, a relational approach to prevention and intervention”
