Overview

The Therapeutic School Approach offers teachers and school leaders a step-by-step guide to embedding a trauma-informed approach that is tangible, practical, and brings the underpinning science to life in a way that is relatable and relevant. Placing a keen focus on moving towards a more inclusive way of working, it advocates for a culture that puts wellbeing and mental health at the core of teaching and school life.

It then introduces the 'how', looking in detail at trauma-informed responses, behavior policies, relationships, and the power of the environment. With real life case studies and scenarios woven throughout, this empowering book challenges perspectives, raises awareness, and inspires the listener to reevaluate the norm to make a true difference to the children in their care. It will be an essential guide for primary school teachers, head teachers, SENCOs, and support staff who want to put children's wellbeing at the core of their practice.
