Contributions

Many of the ideas and resources on this site draw from my learning in BC Campus’ Facilitating Learning Online Trauma-Informed teaching course, facilitated by Deb Nielsen and Melinda Worfolk. I would like to express my thanks to them for permission to draw on their incredible work curating resources on trauma-informed teaching.

Thanks to Farhad Dastur for his contributions to my learning on the effects of trauma on learning.
