Lindbergh Counselors Discuss Trauma: It's OK to be Not OK
The school counselors are participating in book club discussions during our district counselor meetings. They are reading Fostering Resilient Learners: Strategies for Creating a Trauma-Sensitive Classroom.
Teachers are sorting quotes from the text in the order they think is most importance. This activity guided our group discussions on our belief systems and how we serve students.
Today's discussion really focused on the understanding that it is OK to be Not-OK. "The healing process begins with our willingness to give ourselves permission to grieve our traumatic experiences."
We ended our discussion with a "Yay, But". . . "And, Yes" activity. Counselors split up and took a position on the impacts of trauma on students. This group had some fantastic comments.
This is such an AWESOME group of people. I am so glad to have them on my team.
