What is this Guide for?

This guide is intended as a resource for those teaching in a classroom or seeking services and information around war and conflict.

Statement of Intent

The Center for Participatory Excellence and The Office of Equity and Inclusion want to provide resources for trauma-informed instruction. Education flourishes in environments where students feel secure. While the violence is occurring far from our campuses, it is still traumatic and affects the day-to-day experiences of many students.
