Theater arts workshops aligned with trauma-informed care will build young childrens' ability to cope with stress and adverse childhood experiences. Amanda Hane, Research Associate at Wilder Research, will conduct teaching artist and child care provider surveys and collate and report on the results.
Trauma-informed skills and practices were integrated into theater arts workshops with children to support their ability to cope with stress and ACEs. Teaching Artists and Crisis Nursery staff completed surveys rating the extent to which trauma-informed skills and practices were integrated into workshops, child engagement in sessions, and alignment with the overall approach of the Nursery.
