B5: A Trauma-Informed Approach
In this Leaders’ Connect hui recording from 10 November 2022, Jase Williams shares his whakaaro on healing communities using a trauma-informed approach in schools.
- We all carry our experiences like ‘backpacks’; and are all culturally located through different experiences. Many of us carry trauma – how does this impact on our ability to learn?
- Students daily throughout Aotearoa are punished for actions. How do we shift from not asking “what’s wrong with you” or “what’s happened to you” to instead ask “what’s happened within you?”
