Trauma and Resiliency Services

The Alliance for School Mental Health



Why use Trauma and Resiliency Services?

The effects of trauma can interfere with academic performance and everyday life. Dealing with traumatic experiences in a positive and safe way can help reduce or even eliminate trauma-related symptoms, address obstacles to learning, and improve the ability to face difficult situations in the future.

“I don’t know what’s going on with my son,” worried Ms. Robins. “Pascale is a different kid since the accident. His grades have dropped, he doesn’t sleep well, and he hardly talks to us anymore. He’s also getting into fights at school. I don’t know how to help him get over this.”
