Reply to "Best Trauma Responsive/Resilience Resources, Tools, Books"

Other books really useful in the school setting:

Help for Billy - Heather Forbes

Helping Traumatized Children Learn - Massachusetts Advocates for Children

Beyond Behaviors - Mona Delahooke

Bruce Perry has a great set of videos he's made available for COVID: https://www.neurosequential.com/covid-19-resources

Underneath all of this I think we need real systems work. I highly recommend Peter Senge's Schools that Learn and Belonging Through a Culture of Dignity by Cobb and Krownapple. Also Zaretta Hammond's Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain

At school one needs to ask, what is resilience and how do you build it?  Our approach is an integration of SEL and Discipline (so students see SEL in action - even when the going gets rough) and into that, add trauma informed practices and culturally responsive teaching.  You end up moving away from compliance into community - away from punishments and rewards into a culture of growth and repair and internal motivation.... it is  quite a culture shift - and it makes a difference.
