This resource is intended to be used alongside Renfrewshire Educational Psychology Service’s ‘Nurturing Wellbeing to Build Back Better’ resources:
• ‘Nurturing Wellbeing to Build Back Better: A Summary of Trauma Informed Priorities for Educational Establishments.’
• ‘Nurturing Wellbeing to Build Back Better: A Trauma Informed Resource.’
The suggestions provided within these resources will support most staff, children and young people, families and educational communities in recovering well from the effects of COVID-19. However, those who have been most severely affected, or who have had other traumatic experiences in their lives, may benefit from the more trauma specific approaches detailed in this resource. Please note that these resources are intended for educational establishments and are not a substitute for trauma- specific interventions from trained professionals.
RNRA BBB A Closer Look at Trauma Informed Practice
I trust that this resource will enhance your establishment’s ability to support all your children and young people return and reconnect with education. Please get in touch with Michael Harker, if you wish further information about this, or the other resources that have been produced by the educational psychology service.
