D1. Using the Lens of Trauma to Understand the Effects of Bullying
Speaker
Description
The National Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children describes “trauma” as any real or perceived experience that leaves people feeling hopeless, helpless, and fearing for their life/survival, their safety. Using that definition, bullying is a traumatic experience; therefore, we must use trauma-informed interventions with those involved in a bullying incident. In this session participants will explore the concept of trauma, learning how to intervene with those traumatized by a bullying incident.
