Children and families become known to the child welfare system because of suspected abuse or neglect, experiences which can result in traumatic stress reactions.
The primary mission of schools is to support students in educational achievement. To reach this goal, children must feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. Children exposed to violence and trauma may not feel safe or ready to learn.
