Ep. 9 - Post Holiday Trauma Informed Care w/ Rachel Archambault, MA CCC-SLP

Post-holiday trauma is often not considered when returning back to school from Winter Break. Rachel is a speech pathologist and survivor of the 2018 Stoneman Douglas Parkland Shooting who bravely uses her experience to teach SLPs and educators how we can be more trauma informed in our work.  Join our conversation as we discuss: Cultural implications of trauma Examples of trauma-inducing events during the holiday season and returning to school Typical signs of trauma we should look out for preschool and school-aged children How SLPs can make a safe space for children who’ve experienced trauma Violent language and how we can avoid using it Ways we can advocate for children from a trauma informed perspective Ways we can help this population when a traumatic event occurs How SLPs can help this population when a PTSD “episode” occurs Why you should assume everyone has trauma Rachel can be reached via her Instagram: instagram.com/ptsd.slp  Note: This episode was recorded on a digital platform.
