School-Based Mental Health Consultation Through a Trauma-Informed Lens
Sara Coffey, PhD
This project looks to show improvements in emotional wellbeing in teachers and ultimately students by providing education in trauma informed care and mindfulness-based stress reduction strategies. Training in MBSR will lead to improvement in measures indicated by the Freiberg Mindfulness Inventory and the Cohen's Perceived Stress scale. Our professional development and reflective supervision will show improvements in perceived behaviors in the classroom, as evidenced by improvement in the ARTIC scale. Ultimately, these improvements will benefit children in the classroom as evidenced by reduction in teacher absenteeism along with student suspension, detentions and early dismissals secondary to behavior.
