KCKPS’ Trauma Informed Care
and Resilient Schools Initiative
The Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools Trauma
Sensitive and Resilient Schools Initiative has
accomplished nearly all the goals it set out to meet
during the first three years of the initiative. This
accomplishment helps to further KCKPS’ commitment
to social-emotional support for our students
and administrators.
Each school site has a Trauma Sensitive Implementation
Team that sets goals and works toward implementing
trauma-sensitive practices and procedures. These teams
attended intensive training and were equipped with
a mini-grant of $350-$400. As a result of this support,
they are implementing trauma-sensitive practices at
their schools. This effort has helped our teachers
deepen their knowledge of Trauma Sensitive and
Resilient Schools practices and policies and has empowered them to integrate this meaningful work into
their classroom learning. This intentional approach will
continue to enhance our administrators’ ability to build
healthy and consistent relationships among their staff,
students, and families.
