Trauma Aware Schools Village (TASV)

We are excited to announce our involvement in the Trauma Aware Schools Village (TASV), a program aimed at helping students, education staff and parents to more effectively attend to the effects of trauma in- and out of the classroom.

Purpose of the Study and Expected Outcomes

The TASV project aims to assist children to develop healthy regulation behaviours in schools and is funded by the federal Medical Research Future Fund. In delivering the Adventure to Thrive, Trauma Responsive Training and Parent Workshops, we will be working in partnership with Flinders University, Charles Sturt University, Swinburne University of Technology and University of Tasmania for data collection and research publication.

Trauma Aware School Village (TASV)

By applying trauma-informed practices, the project will:

  1. Provide strategies to safely identify and respond to trauma and enact early intervention.
  2. Equip children with increased emotional regulation and connectedness.
  3. Drive best practices in schools.

This project will be evaluated through a multi-method approach to understand its impact on the school environment and the experiences of participants.

We believe this initiative will greatly benefit children, education staff and school communities taking part in the program and look forward to the publication of research and implementation reports
