Travma Duyarlı Okullar: Tanımı, Amacı ve Kapsamı

Abstract

Olumsuz çocukluk deneyimleri ve travmalar, çocukların ve gençlerin hem fiziksel hem de psikolojik sağlığının bozulmasına yol açmaktadır. Bunun sonucu olarak, olumsuz çocukluk deneyimleri hastalıklara, psikolojik problemlere hatta erken ölümlere bile neden olabilmektedir. Ayrıca travmalar, okul çağındaki çocuklar için akademik ve davranışsal zorlukların yaşamasına neden olmaktadır. Okul psikolojik danışmanlarının, olumsuz çocukluk deneyimleri ve travmanın etkileri konusunda bilgiye sahip olmaları, öğrencilerin ihtiyaçlarının farkında olmaları gereklidir. Aynı zamanda çocuk ve gençler için uygun eğitim olanaklarını sağlamaları da önemlidir. Travma duyarlı okullar, travmanın beyin üzerindeki etkisini anlayarak öğrencilerin sınıf ortamında gelişimlerini destekleyerek, yeniden travmatize olmaları engellemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı travma duyarlı okulların amacını, kapsamı ve Türkiye’de yapılabilecek çalışmaların neler olabileceğini sunarak, okul psikolojik danışmanlarına travma konusundaki çalışmalarına alternatifler sunmaktır.
