Overview
Children and adolescents who have suffered complex trauma are more likely to have difficulties concentrating in class, be withdrawn or disruptive to others. Complex trauma impacts the physical, emotional and social development of children and adolescents and they often have difficulties in their relationships with others. In order to minimise harm and provide support, teachers and school leaders need to respond with trauma-informed practices in their classroom or school.
