Trauma-Informed Schools Initiative

Senate Bill 638 (2016) required the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to create a website about the trauma-informed schools initiative that includes information for schools and parents regarding the trauma-informed approach and a guide for schools on how to become trauma-informed schools. The information available by clicking the link below will provide us all with guidance to better meet the social and emotional needs of children.
