This episode sees the return to the podcast of Dr Karen Martin, lecturer and researcher from the School of Population and Global Health at UWA. Karen chats without us about her experience leading the Thoughtful Schools Program, a pilot study aiming to support schools to be more trauma informed in their response to dealing with challenging behaviour of some children. We discuss the many ways that trauma manifests in children and their behaviour, as well as how Karen and her team will support schools and teachers to be more "trauma informed" in their responses. We also chat about how the success of the program will be measured.
