This episode explores the profound impact of childhood trauma on education and society, featuring insights from Benjamin Perks (author of Trauma Proof: Healing, Attachment and the Science of Prevention) and trauma expert, Megan Corcoran (author of Beyond Survival Mode, Thriving as a Trauma-informed Professional ).
Together with Tim, Benjamin and Megan discuss trauma-informed practices, the importance of strong relationship-building in schools, and a vision for trauma-proof, healing-centred education systems.
Benjamin also zooms us out from the work of schools, to provide a powerful call-to-action on the need to empower families to enable all children to thrive beginning in early childhood.
In the episode, Benjamin mentions wonderful examples of schools and system's doing intentional work around the student relationships, including Harvard Graduate School of Education's relational mapping approach and the Scottish Government's landmark child safety and wellbeing reforms which commit to all young people having a strong, healthy relationship with a key adult.
Megan references a recent study by Deakin University on teacher stress and burnout, which finds that teachers are currently experiencing higher rates of secondary stress then other professions and the national workforce norm.
