Our work is historically rooted in working with youth, adults and organizations that have faced adverse conditions. Many have experienced primary or secondary trauma. Events that cause feelings of fear and helplessness can overwhelm their ability to cope. At Akoben, we have a responsibility to understand the role and effects of trauma on individuals, their community and those who serve them. We believe and teach practices that are Trauma Informed in order to help empower individuals, communities and organizations towards growth and peace.
Trauma Informed Training for Schools
Schools are recognizing that students’ emotional responses, learning challenges, and behavior are connected to deeper, diverse educational experiences that impact student engagement in the classroom. Akoben offers trauma-informed training for schools that is tailored to assist educators in responding in ways that support student learning and well-being.
Our trauma informed professional development allows educators to gain practical educational tools. This training session focuses on providing practical strategies to school leaders and educators that reduce classroom disruptions, strengthen relationships, and support a healthier school ecosystem.
At Akoben, we combine practical classroom application with research-based insights to help schools gain sustainable trauma-responsive education strategies.
Signs Schools Need Support
Educators encounter several challenges that showcase a need for students’ emotional regulation and understanding of student experiences. Frequent ongoing student disagreement, behavioral incidents, and classroom disruptions may signal that pupils are going through trauma-related responses and stress.
Schools searching for trauma-sensitive schools training recognize that traditional approaches will not be enough to support students coping with past experiences or emotional stress. A trauma-based approach assists educators in student communication to respond with empathy while creating structured environments and maintaining clear boundaries and expectations.
