Lessons Learned

  •  Develop a trusting relationship with the students
  • Critical to be aware of signs of maltreatment and reporting them. Feel comfortable with reporting even suspicions-you don’t need to be the one making the final decision but so important to make the call
  • Use wellness/resiliency strategies that empower (students/teachers/self). For example: self-compassion, self-expression, exercise, art, reframing, guided meditation, rest/sleep, peer support groups
  • Be aware of your own triggers
