This partnership supported staff from Marshall County Schools to create trauma-sensitive classrooms and schools. Specifically, REL Appalachia staff collaborated with partners from Marshall County Schools and the West Kentucky Educational Cooperative to design and deliver a four-part training series on evidence-based, trauma-sensitive practices and supported district mental health counselors as they helped school-based trauma teams apply the practices introduced in the trainings. These activities contributed to the short-, medium-, and long-term outcomes described in the partnership logic model below.

Completed Projects
Developing Trauma-Sensitive Classrooms REL staff supported district and school staff in Marshall County, Kentucky to leverage existing evidence-based, trauma-sensitive practices and to help staff implement these practices in their everyday interactions with their students to respond sensitively to student and educator trauma. REL staff provided the district with a recorded trauma-sensitive training that meets the annual training requirements of Kentucky’s School Safety and Resiliency Act and provided teachers with more concrete trauma-sensitive practices they can implement in their classrooms.
