Increasing trauma informed awareness in higher education

Abstract

Traumatic experiences across the lifespan can impact an individual's physical, social and emotional health, and cognitive development. There has been an increased focus on trauma informed initiatives in various public and healthcare sectors, but these initiatives are lacking in higher education. Creating a trauma-informed culture will positively impact academic success.
