Nicole Klasey, Psy.D.

Training Description

Trauma impacts many aspects of one's life. One of those areas is a student's education. Given the amount of trauma system-involved youth experience, it’s essential for social service providers, caregivers, parents, and natural support people to support system-involved youth in the school setting. It's crucial to understand how trauma impacts a student's emotional and behavioral health and academic performance in school. The better we understand how trauma presents, the better we can advocate for system-involved youth and help ensure that they are getting trauma-informed education and support at school.
