On Friday, May 10th 2013, the ACLU of Delaware will host educators and leaders to discuss trauma, schools and student success.
We will welcome speakers from the Trauma Learning and Policy Initiative of Harvard Law School and Massachusetts Advocates for Children to discuss how they have advanced initiatives to improve student achievement and academic success by focusing on the link between a supportive school environment and reducing student trauma.
The goal of the forum will be to bring together parents, educators, community leaders, and youth and mental health advocates to discuss the tasks and challenges of ensuring that schools support student success in all areas.
We would like participants to leave with greater information and insight about the impact of childhood trauma on learning and what can be done in Delaware to improve school environments.
We encourage participants and other interested parties to participate on Twitter using the event hashtag, #S3DE.
The meeting will take place from 1-5 pm at Le Chameleon at the Christiana Hilton, with cocktails immediately following.
Limited seating available. Register here.
