Episode 3: Trauma-Informed Education
Our Stories from Berry Street podcast series explores the current crisis facing children and families in Australia. More than ever they’re being exposed to violence, abuse and neglect, and the fallout from this can have devastating long-term impacts on our whole community. Join our host Richelle Hunt - who you may know from The Conversation Hour on ABC Radio - as she talks to staff from front line services at Berry Street, highlights the innovative work that’s being done to address the increasing rates of harm and violence, and uncovers what we can all do to help.
In episode three, Richelle speaks with Dr. Tom Brunzell, Director of Education, and Louise Childs, Lead Teacher at the Berry Street School. This insightful conversation shines a light on how trauma impacts students' ability to engage with their learning, how the Berry Street Education Model (BSEM) is improving wellbeing for students and teachers alike, and why the innovative Berry Street School is different from the education spaces you might be used to.
