Trauma Support Cohort for MT Teachers/Counselors via Zoom with Stacy York Nation, LCSW

This year in education has turned into a “building the plane as we fly” situation. Professional educators are being stretched in ways they never have been before. There’s no roadmap, no template, for how to teach during a pandemic. This group will provide a safe space to address the tough and hard topics that come with teaching this year. Since we are literally living during a traumatic time, we will focus on trauma-informed practices and support to help educators navigate their stressors.


This eight week course will be hosted on Zoom remote conferencing. The structure of each weekly meeting (75 minutes each) will be:

Stacy has spent the last 5 years traveling the country to train and educate professional educators on trauma-informed care. Stacy completed a grant project with Montana’s OPI that included the completion of a trauma-informed student handbook template. Stacy is familiar with the rural nature of Montana and all that goes with that in trying to meet the needs of a community. Stacy also serves as a Behavioral Health Officer in the Wyoming  Army National Guard. This experience has provided Stacy with opportunities to work with higher level officials in problem solving hard, tough system issues.
