As school-based professionals, we understand the losses and feelings of social isolation that our students have experienced this year. And while we’re excited for students to return to the school building, there are understandable feelings of trepidation and anxiety.

Will I be able to provide enough support?  

How can I help my students’ social-emotional needs post COVID-19 pandemic? 

You’ll engage in a targeted roadmap to learn to Reacclimate and Regulate, which ultimately leads to student empowerment! The first stage of the journey focuses on a 5-point check-in to build awareness of the signs and symptoms of trauma across students as well as school-based personnel. Reacclimating to the school environment and fostering our own self-awareness skills are critical to moving forward into planning and action. The next stage of the journey focuses on the utilization of evidence-based strategies to create a step-by-step plan for resilience. Practical resources and tools will create an effortless environment of student learning and growth through targeting a foundation of safety, building trust and healthy communication, and empowering resilience!
