I agree,Monica. It is a long road to becoming a truly trauma informed school or work place, and we need to make sure staff are well informed, have adjusted their practice, and are themselves supported.
I think as educators we need to be very cautious about how we are using ACE information in schools. Here in my district, we work hard to pair educators with mental health professionals to make sure that we are sharing clear information about roles and boundaries with our school staff, and making sure educators know how to refer to appropriate services. We share with our mental health partners what we can do within the realm of teaching and learning environments to incorporate effective trauma informed practice that provides safe learning environments for students who may have ACE scores that impact their success at school, but is also beneficial for ALL students.
