Did you know Fort Worth ISD has a Prevention and Crisis Reponse team dedicated to helping teachers, administrators and students understand how trauma impacts the classroom? Michael Garcia, LPC, and Remington Pohlmeyer, LMSW, join us to talk about their small but mighty team of trauma specialists.
According to FWISD, the goal of the trauma specialist is to work in partnership with administrators and teachers to implement a trauma informed care approach by providing practical tools and interventions; improving academic success, healthy relationships, and emotional regulation.
Their work includes:
· Encourage trauma informed strengths
· Provide training on brain development, trauma, effects of trauma and Trust Based Relational Intervention concepts
· Provide consultations for problematic behaviors
· Provide ongoing support to the campus
· Model a trauma informed care approach to correcting behaviors
Special thanks for Laura Van Hoosier, AVP of Public Relations at Cook Children’s, for joining as a guest co-host.
Raising Joy is part of Cook Children’s Health Care System’s Joy Campaign, a communications initiative aimed at preventing youth suicides. For more information about the Joy Campaign, visit cookchildrens.org/joy.
