For my final blog post, I have decided to do three quotes from the article "The Future of Healing".
The first quote I chose from the article was "Rather than using discipline, a school that uses a trauma informed approach might offer therapy, or counseling to support the restoration of that students well-being. The assumption is that the disruptive behavior is the symptom of a deeper harm, rather Han willful defiance, or disrespect." I chose this quote because it just proves that sometimes the bad behavior students show in the classrooms could have a deeper problem. As a teacher, most of the time, you're not 100% sure what goes on at home, there might be at home issues we don't know about, that makes the child act that way. Therapy could help with these issues in school.
For my second quote I chose "If trauma is collectively experienced, this means that we also have to consider the environmental context that caused the harm in the first place. By only treating the individual we only address the part of the equation leaving the toxic systems, policies, and practices neatly intact." I chose this quote because it further proves the point that the behavior of a child can come from the "life" at home. Just because you are discipling the child in school does not mean the actions at home are stopping.
The last quote I chose was "A healing-centered approach views trauma not simply as an individual isolated experience, but rather highlights the ways in which trauma and healing are experienced collectively. The term healing-centered engagement expands how we think about responses to trauma and offers more holistic approach to fostering well-being." Everyone hears and grows in not only different ways but at different paces too. Taking the trauma and changing it into a healing process could be helpful for the kids not only and school but also at home.
This is a hyper link of the types of trauma and how to heal it.
