TRAUMA RESPONSIVE SCHOOLS/BULLYING PREVENTION PROJECT
The Trauma Responsive Schools/Bullying Prevention (TRS/BP) Grant is a new project within the region targeting prevention of victimization and developing trauma responsive schools within four counties in Southern Illinois.
The project focuses on facilitating the provision of prevention and intervention trauma supports to K-12 students. Specifically, we are developing and supporting the growth of resiliency teams within four targeted school districts. These teams collaborate with project staff to build their capacity for creating trauma-informed and responsive schools to reduce bullying and support students and families that have been victims of trauma. Partner schools include:
Christopher School District
- Christopher Elementary School
Eldorado School District
- Eldorado Elementary School
Harrisburg School District
- West Side Primary School
- East Side Intermediate School
Marion School District
