Tools and resources

The Educational Psychology Service (EPS) shared drive includes a range of resources to support the implementation of this training. It includes guides to using co-regulation strategies, the PACE approach, non-shaming language, and play as a therapeutic tool. We also link to the Applied Trauma Responsive Classroom Model (ATCRM), a tool which helps schools self-audit their trauma-informed practice.
