Faculty Speaker Series | The Importance of Investing in Trauma Informed Care (TIC) Educators in Higher Education - session 1
Dr. Vergie M. Brannon
Are you curious about why your students appear not to listen to you or to follow “clear” instructions? It may be a traumatized brain. Do not dismiss the idea. Most people have experienced some form of trauma at some time in life. People experience and cope with traumas differently. Some traumas are not recognized as traumas, but they are classified as traumatic events. When those “traumatized” adults choose to attend institutions of higher education, the insidious nature of trauma tends to manifest itself. This series will discuss:
· the insidious and detrimental nature of some traumas
· Trauma Informed Care as a concept of care that can be applied in the academic environment
· the benefits of being a proactive trauma informed academic workforce.
At the end of the series, the participants will be provided with resources that can help influence their instructional practice.
Session 1: What is Trauma Informed Care and what is not? Why should this matter in higher education? This session explores the multifaceted benefits for institutions of higher education to invest in a TIC workforce.
