SAWUBONA: We Bring Belonging
A Trauma-Responsive Approach to Healing-Centered Schools
The equity gap has only widened in schools over the course of the last several months. Both racial and educational trauma has been further exposed on a systemic level. We are experiencing a time where BOTH educators and children have undergone significant amounts of chronic, persistent trauma. The uncertainty of what returning to school will hold is exacerbating these traumas. How do we create better conditions now to mitigate the effects of trauma for ourselves and for our students?
