Trauma-Informed Collection - TRAUMACOLL

Many children experience trauma, or adverse childhood experiences, and go through times of extreme stress. Trauma has the ability to impact children's learning, social interactions and relationships, and overall well-being. Literature can be a safe space for young people to talk about characters' actions and situations and the ways that they navigated distressing scenarios. The following books showcase child protagonists who cope with trauma in a variety of ways and provide students the opportunity to discuss trauma through the lens of a relatable and engaging character.
