Trauma is an emotional, psychological, physical, and/or neurological response to a real or perceived threat to life, well-being, or safety. Trauma-informed practices focus on creating a safe school culture, building relationships, and supporting students’ self-efficacy.

Our TTSD MTSS triangle sits on top of a plate labeled trauma informed and culturally and community responsive. A common misconception is that these are additional initiatives in our district. Instead, they are a lens in which we must filter all our systems; if a practice isn't trauma-informed, equity centered, or community and culturally responsive, it have no place in our MTSS.

"The PAX Good Behavior Game (PAX GBG) is a school-based universal preventive intervention used to teach self-regulation, self-management and self-control in children. PAX GBG provides educators with strategies to teach social-emotional and behavioral skills along with academics creating a trauma informed nurturing environment. In fact, PAX GBG has been proven to change student brain chemistry with life-long effects that dramatically impact mental health, substance abuse, graduation rates and suicide in our children and communities." - University of Montana

"A trauma-informed approach to Transformative SEL recognizes that all forms of oppression cause traumatic stress and that relationships, when navigated with care, can mitigate harm and maximize opportunities for individual and collective healing and wellness. Trauma-informed principles and care practices recognize behavior as communication and coping; they seek to understand the why behind behaviors. It also recognizes that individuals are not defined by their traumatic experiences or responses to them: people are more than the trauma they have experienced. Predictable, consistent, positive, and healthy social and physical environments and relationships help our brains learn, develop, and grow by strengthening neural pathways that regulate our nervous systems and prime our brains, minds, and bodies for regulation and new learning (Perry, 2009; Hammond, 2015; Hansen, 2018; Burke Harris, 2018)." - TSEL
