Many educators now recognize the need to support trauma-affected students through teaching, learning practices, and resources and to provide safety for them to succeed and thrive (McInerney & McKlindon, 2014). Trauma-informed support is critical for postsecondary education institutions as students transitioning to college and those navigating college life may have a history of trauma. The purpose of this presentation is to provide practical strategies to support college students in the classroom:

Focus:

1. Provide a brief introduction to trauma.

2. Examine the use of trauma-informed pedagogy in postsecondary education.

3. Discuss strategies for moving forward with knowledge and information on trauma-informed practices.

4. Share knowledge and support resources on trauma-informed care.
