The 2016 Fedele F. and Iris M. Fauri Memorial Conference provided an overview on how trauma impacts students, why social workers and educators need to recognize and address the effects of trauma on students' learning, behavior and relationships while they are in school contexts, and showcased Michigan efforts to implement trauma informed practices in schools. There was also discussion on taking action through policy, social work and teaching practice, organizational efforts, cross-professional collaborations and the like. Participants engaged in roundtable discussions to develop and commit to efforts to integrate trauma informed practices into Michigan schools.
