Abstract
In Part 1 Defining Trauma as a Key Part of Trauma Informed Practices (Ronksley-Pavia, 2021), we learned that up to 75% of young people (aged up to 16 years), have experienced trauma in their lives. Furthermore, that these traumatic experiences can impact on heath, wellbeing, brain development and cognitive functioning; severely impacting on a young person’s ability to learn. Strength-Based Approaches to Trauma-Informed Practices combine knowledge of the impacts of trauma with strength-based perspectives; emphasising strengths, assets, competencies, potential and capabilities are all important factors in ensuring strength-based approaches to developing and implementing trauma-informed approaches across schools. It is important to recognise that the context in which trauma is being addressed (e.g., individual schools, school communities and classrooms), are all important contributors to the outcomes for trauma survivors.
