Lessons from the Pandemic Trauma-Informed Approaches to College, Crisis, Change

"This book is a gift to higher education. The authors acknowledge the agonizing pain of trauma, especially for those on the margins, but center healing and resilience. Throughout, we are invited to reflect, grieve, celebrate, and above all, grow."
- Mays Imad, Founding Coordinator, Teaching and Learning Center, Pima Community College, USA
"Global pandemics don't have silver linings but do provide materials for grinding new lenses of perception. There is something here to inform practitioners of every academic discipline."
- Wallace E. Dixon, Jr., Founding Director, ETSU/Ballad Health Strong BRAIN Institute, East Tennessee State University, USA
"This deeply thoughtful collection envisions this moment as an opportunity to discern and build upon what we have learned and, as Carello and Thompson affirm, 'reimagine ourselves as educators'."
- Jeanie Tietjen, Founding Director, Institute for Trauma, Adversity, and Resilience in Higher Education, Massachusetts Bay Community College, USA
This collection presents strategies for trauma-informed teaching and learning in higher education during crisis. While studies abound on trauma-informed approaches for mental health service providers, law enforcement, nurses, and K-12 educators, strategies geared to college faculty, staff, and administrators are not readily available and are now in high demand. This book joins a conversation in place about what COVID-19 has taught us and how we are using what we have learned to construct a new discourse around teaching and learning during crisis.
