Many of us are experiencing chronic stress during these challenging times, including our pupils.
When we experience chronic stress - that is when our nervous system is activated for long periods of time - it has the same impact on us as trauma, says Beth Kelley, psychotherapist.
Beth co-authored the book, Teaching, Learning, and Trauma: Responsive practices for holding steady in turbulent times. 
In this insightful and deeply practical conversation, Beth shares:
A simple definition of 'trauma';
Simple practices to manage stress or trauma in yourself;
Or your class, whether you're with them in person or teaching online;
The most important first step to take in building resilience;
How building resilience as a school community means less heavy lifting on any individual teacher or leader;
A simple way of knowing when you're nervous system is out of balance;
What to do if your system is 'too hot' or 'too cold';
The most critical thing you can do for your own wellbeing;
How to reconnect with your purpose;
And much more!
