Emailed him the poster. He replied my question!
This is his response (I edited it for length):
• If you have traumatized students in your class, you should do whatever the school's mental health counsellors tell you to do. There should be a specialist with specific advice and a specific plan for each student with such a diagnosis.
• Note the difference between "trauma" and “stresses”.
- “Trauma” is a subjective response to specific circumstances (experience of near death/permanent injury/profound loss of safety + control).
- “Stresses” refer to most students' school experiences: getting a bad grade, or breaking up with a significant other, or being cut from the football team. • Teachers can help to manage stresses; they need to enlist counsellors’ help to manage traumas.
