Senior Mental Health Lead - Trauma-Informed Practice - The Brain and Trauma - S1 EP4

Welcome to the Senior Mental Health Lead series. This series of podcasts seeks to support everybody working in the schools sector to gain an understanding of what we mean by Trauma-informed practice, to understand what good practice in this area looks like and to share practical strategies that can really make a difference. We will consider the best available evidence from the fields of psychology, education research and the health and care sector to help us refine our approaches within the classroom.

In this week's episode, we discuss 'The Brain and Trauma'. The brain is the at the centre of any conversations linked to trauma. This is where the impact of trauma is felt, and the responses to trauma are played out. In this podcast, we explore what happens in the brain for those affected by Adverse Childhood Experiences, and consider what this means for our practice when supporting these learners.
