STEM & Trauma-Informed Professional Development Workshops
About TLC for Educators
TLC for Educators began as the Trauma Learning Center. We are
grounded in the science of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and brain development. When educators understand how trauma shapes the developing brain, they can go beyond building connection—they can create intentional, brain-aligned learning experiences that truly reach trauma-impacted students.
Through our signature workshops—Whole-Child, Whole-School and STEMpossible Classrooms—we help schools implement trauma-informed strategies that elevate student engagement, strengthen teacher impact, and transform school culture.
