For most people, the coronavirus pandemic has been experienced as a collective trauma, with people of color and socioeconomically disadvantaged people (children, families, and adults) disproportionately bearing the pandemic’s adverse effects. This keynote will outline trauma-informed, equity-promoting approaches that can support schools to be places of healing, resilience, and equity for students as well as for the adults who serve and care for them.
