AAPF19 Session

Serving the Whole Student: Addressing Trauma and Social Emotional Learning
The students who walk through our doors are fighting battles we know nothing about, so we must be prepared. This session will explore trauma-informed and other practices for supporting an at-promise population. Before students can find success in Career and College Pathways, we should create environments designed to support students through their transitions to adulthood.
