In this module, you have learned about a number of important resources to help students and classroom teachers with exposure to trauma.
Instructions
There are two parts to this assignment.
Part 1: Research and Share Resources
Do some exploring or research on what community resources or programs are available to those who have been exposed to any type of trauma. This exploration could include but not limited to: 1) interviewing a school counselor to see what community resources or programs they are aware or are using at their school site, 2) a literature review of successful community resources or 3) check with the NU Reference Librarian to help you conduct a search of current programs or resources.
Share a list or Padlet that includes at least five resources for school counselors to utilize when counseling students during times of transition, separation, heightened stress, or other critical changes in their lives.
Part 2: Add to your Intervention Plan
