Trauma's effect is real and profound, but that is only half the story. The scope and scale of trauma treatment is much more involved than most staff trainings or educational consulting books ever let on. In Trauma-Informed Tragedy, find out what trauma researchers and clinical psychologists say about trauma and its treatment-and why the trauma-informed movement placed unfair demands on teachers, counselors, principals, and all other school staff.

Additionally, Trauma-Informed Tragedy explores the unintended ripple effects of this well-meaning movement, examining how the very students who are supposed to be helped by these policies often suffer instead. Thoroughly researched and extensively referenced, Trauma-Informed Tragedy is a must-read for anyone who has worked in schools-or had a stake in them-in the last decade.
