Abstract
Students who struggle with trauma can often get missed in the school system. With a lack of support, funding and awareness the school misses the opportunities in assisting the individuals who are struggling. This literature review will discuss what trauma is and how it impacts children and youth. It will look at the advantages of how having a trauma-informed approach can create a positive, empathetic culture where students feel safe and connected. Finally, this paper will explore how sandtray or sandplay therapy and cognitive behavioural support are two therapeutic approaches that a school counsellor can use to help students, who have experienced trauma, find healing.
