Stop trauma in its tracks, address disruptive behaviors, and create a
safe and nurturing school environment with a neuroscience-based approach
in your classroom.
More than 32 million children in the US suffer from trauma symptoms.
Some have had adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), like neglect, abuse,
violence, and loss, or have experienced distress from medical trauma and
social injustice. Toxic traumatic stress shapes the structure and
function of both brain and body, which can lead to anxiety,
hyperactivity, aggression, shutting down, and acting out--emotions and
behaviors that hinder learning and create classroom chaos.
Maggie Kline, a family therapist, trauma specialist, school
psychologist, and former teacher, gives you whole-brain, heart-centered
tools to identify and reverse trauma-driven behaviors so students feel
supported and safe. Her unique roadmap will empower you to facilitate
