ACEs SIG- Trauma Aware Education
Description
For many years, Australian education systems have struggled to manage the needs of trauma-impacted young learners without resorting to exclusionary disciplinary practices. Recently, the importance of trauma-informed care in education has gained recognition. The Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is leading a national effort to promote trauma-awareness and trauma-informed practices across Australian education systems.
