About Us

Hi there, my name is Peter Vaisanen and I am a Grade 7 and 8 Health and Physical Education teacher. I teach at an all boys independent school based out of Toronto, Ontario. After, taking the Trauma Informed Education course I have learned that creating a positive relationship with my students is essential to the support of students who have experienced trauma.

While I am not an educator, I have recognized through this Trauma Informed Education course that developing pedagogy and procedure on a trauma-informed basis is key to both supporting and accommodating victims of trauma in educational settings.

Hello! My name is Ibrahim Qureshi and I am a Grade 1 to 9 Physical Education Teacher from Calgary, Alberta.

Every teacher should learn about trauma-informed practices in education.
