Trauma and the Brain Professional Development at Hoover High School

On Wednesday, October 17th the Children and Youth in Transition Team (CYT) presented a trauma informed practices presentation to about 150 Hoover High School staff members. The professional development training “Trauma and the Brain” is one of a series of fours presentations that the CYT department offers. The presentation focuses on building awareness and shared understanding of trauma. It also highlights how trauma affects the brain, health, cognitive development and behavior of our students. One Hoover Educator commented, “I’ve seen a variety of presentations on the topic, but I think that was one of the best.” Hoover High School is one of seven schools in San Diego Unified who have participated in the training in the 18-19 school year thus far. Interested schools should contact the CYT department to sign up for trainings.
