Our educational programs help treat the issues your students are facing and guide them to a more positive path. Folium understands behaviors can be a result of traumatic life experiences. Using a trauma-informed approach, Folium has assembled a dynamic array of services to promote healthier children, adolescents, and adults.
Why Trauma-Informed Care?
One out of every four school children has experienced a traumatic event in their lives. The impact of these experiences — including physical, sexual and institutional abuse, neglect and disasters — are felt in classrooms across the country everyday.
Beyond disrupting cognitive functioning and impairing learning, trauma often manifests itself as defiant or disruptive behavior. Most victims battle recurring feelings of shame, guilt, rage, isolation, and disconnection, which makes it difficult for them to thrive in an academic setting.
Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) is an approach to treatment, classroom management, and leadership within education and social services. TIC recognizes the presence of trauma symptoms and acknowledges the role that trauma has played in the lives of students.
