Trauma-Informed Approach

At LINC Academy, we take the stance that it is risky to assume that a child has not experienced trauma. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are common and often invisible. All LINC Academy staff – from the classroom to the music room to the front office – are trained in transformational education and trauma informed teaching.

We assume that all benefit from trauma-informed and SEL practices and that all teachers and staff need to be skillful in developing caring relationships, setting appropriate boundaries, working to build critical skills like self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and the ability to foster a learning environment in which openness, teamwork, and cooperation are possible.

For students who need additional emotional support, LINC Academy offers group coaching and counseling sessions that take a trauma-informed stance to focus on the development of soft skills and relationships. These sessions will also include an explicit socio-emotional curriculum (SEL), delivered through the lens of trauma.

Students who are equipped with socio-emotional skills do better than their peers on a number of indicators including positive social behaviors and attitudes, key soft skills such as empathy and teamwork, and academic achievement.
