dc.description.abstractTrauma is a pervasive issue in schools, affecting students' emotional well-being, social well-being, and academic achievement. School counsellors are increasingly called upon to address trauma in students, yet many may not have a strong understanding of the physiological mechanisms at play. To help address this issue, the Polyvagal Theory (PVT) provides a framework for understanding the autonomic nervous system's (ANS) response to stress and trauma. This paper presents an overview of PVT in the context of trauma, explores the literature of relevant physiological measures, and presents a guideline for becoming a polyvagal-informed helper. It also presents an introductory professional development workshop for school counsellors and educators.
