She will discuss the visible and invisible manifestations of trauma in the classroom and explore the far-reaching consequences on academic performance, behavior, and social interactions. Backed by neuroscience and framed through real-world examples, we will discover the indispensable role mental health support plays in ensuring the success of students facing adversity.
