Happy New Year and welcome back to the 'After the Bell' podcast brought to you by Connex Academy!Last year was a great year for our podcast series, so we wanted to throw it back and relive our top 3 episodes of last year!Coming in at number 2 is Moving from Trauma to Recovery, from our Trauma-Informed Practice series episode 9.In this episode, we discussed 'Moving from Trauma to Recovery'. Recovery from trauma is not easy. It’s a long-term process. But that doesn’t mean to say that it’s impossible. The brain and body are designed to heal – it’s what they are doing all the time. It’s how we survive and manage to live so long but we just need to know how to help the process rather than hindering it. In this podcast, we consider how we can support students to heal to allow them to focus on their learning and make progress.
