Abstract
Abstract
Trauma has an impact on all schools. Ignoring this fact can have serious implications for staff and students. School Counselors are Highly Educated and Licensed mental health professionals who understand how to safely implement a Trauma Informed Practices (TIP) model in schools. This training aims to improve safety and security among students and staff at the high school level. All schools in the Grand Forks Public School District implement Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) for students. Utilizing these practices can be made more effective by setting up a foundation of Trauma Informed Practices. Several sources have stated that a foundation of TIP helps students and staff have an overall feeling of safety and security in their building. This review will analyze successful implementation strategies in public schools, and what is necessary for these implementations. Upon completion of training, it may become apparent that practices already in place will need to change to be more supportive of all students.
