IMPROVING STUDENT WELLBEING IN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS

Resilience and Crisis Care in International Schools

Self-Guided Course

This course builds on the prerequisite course Foundations of International School Student Care to train international school staff in promoting emotional resilience, responding to trauma faced by students, and supporting student mental health. 

We start by discussing emotional resilience, busting that myth that children are naturally resilient and instead going through practical ways to build resilience through experiences of mobility, transience, and change.

Next are two units on trauma generally and sexual abuse specifically in the international school context. These units draw on research that is specific to international school students, and compares this to research done in other countries and contexts. There are a lot of practical tools and the supplementary resources include plenty of recommended sources of additional learning, training, and guidance in improving school-wide systems for trauma-informed student care.

The course concludes with a unit on supporting mental health in the international school environment. Again, we look at research data specific to international school students, and discuss practical strategies and resources to help you care for student wellbeing - no matter where you are in the world and what staff/budget you have.

Educators

Counselors

Administrators

Learn more about the students you teach in an international setting and how to best meet their specific needs for the best possible outcomes. Understand your school community and how to engage well. If you are a parent, you'll also learn about your own child's experiences in the process!
Build your toolbox for international school counseling with these courses applying content directly to your context. Work through how international students experience school life differently, tackling a wide range of topics, with reflective activities and supplemental resources to increase your selection of go-to tools of the trade.
So much professional development for teachers is not tailored to the experiences of international school educators. Ensure the best possible care for your students by providing staff training designed specifically for this population.
