Can School Heal Children in Pain?

In our many discussions of trauma-informed schools here is yet another example: Lincoln High School in Walla Walla, Washington implements concepts to help traumatized students.  They are receiving positive results.

I am very encouraged to see more and more schools adopting trauma-informed practices for students who now can have new opportunities to be successful personally, academically and emotionally.

I deeply appreciate schools like Lincoln High School, and so many others, that are adopting trauma-informed care for their students.
