In this episode of the Trauma-Informed Lens Podcast with Mathew Bennett, he speaks with FuelEd Partners Megan and Kelley about how educators can serve as secure attachment figures, with the power to heal student trauma through the relationships they build, and the need for educators to first do their own healing. We also explore the power of providing simple and safe places for educators within school culture to receive healing from their own trauma.
