How Trauma Impacts the Brain, Behavior and Learning

Faculty are well adept at providing assistance to students who “just don’t get” the material, but few realize how traumatic experiences such as the death of a family member, sexual assault and domestic violence affect the brain, how those effects impact learning, faculty responsibilities with respect to reporting, how to make a referral, and resources available to students. Participants will also discuss how some classroom material “triggers” brain responses and how to mitigate these
