Brain-Based Strategies for Children with Stress & Trauma: Building Resilience and Coping Skills in Students
According to the World Health Organization (2020), nearly half of all children worldwide, or approximately one billion children, suffer some form of violence each year. Exposure to trauma has been linked to a range of negative mental health outcomes including post-traumatic stress (PTS), anxiety, depression, and learning difficulties. Often times, early childhood traumatic experiences lead to maladaptive coping behaviours, heightened aggression, as well as poor social-emotional decision-making skills, all of which can impact mental health and school achievement. However, not all children exposed to trauma experience detrimental outcomes, as many are capable of devising internal coping and resilience strategies to grow from these experiences. Therefore, this workshop will explore the neural underpinnings of stress, trauma, and anxiety in children and its subsequent impact upon learning and behaviour. There will be a detailed discussion on specific brain regions impacted by trauma, as well as the relationship between anxiety and poor academic performance. Numerous interventions and practical classroom interventions will be emphasized. In summary, schools can enhance emotional wellness through early prevention efforts, appropriate assessment and screening techniques, and an improved school climate to foster emotional growth for all children.
