Trauma-informed Philosophy and Healing-centered Practices
Journal: Journal of Higher Education Research DOI: 10.32629/jher.v6i3.4114
Abstract
This article focuses on the important role of trauma-informed philosophy within the educational system and society at large, with particular emphasis on their critical role in the development of learners’ mental health and personal integrity. In the context of COVID-19, educators need to focus not only on academic performance, but also on building safe and restorative justice environments for students who have experienced adverse childhood experiences. Teachers can utilize home visits, observation, and funds of knowledge to gain a deeper understanding of learners’ cultural experiences and engage families, social organizations, and other institutions in multiple interventions, including, but not limited to, the promotion of healing-centered practices and the ongoing reform of social institutions for justice.
