The Center for Trauma-Informed Education (CTIE) at the LMU School of Education provides critical interventions and resources at partner schools in Los Angeles and the surrounding region. Employing a systems approach, CTIE serves as a resource for school communities to establish trauma-resilient learning communities to meet the needs of students, teachers, staff, administrators, and parents/guardians. The Center is committed to achieving a positive impact on social and emotional well-being that supports school communities in the development of self-awareness, positive relationship skills, responsible decision-making, and academic excellence.
Our Work
At CTIE, we realize that every school community is unique. Our team conducts listening sessions with schools to better understand their unique needs, challenges, and goals. We design and deliver professional development sessions that are thoughtful and relevant to each school's priorities. Our approach is to provide meaningful supports to school communities that empowers administrators, teachers, staff, students, and parents/guardians to discover their strengths and resilience as they embrace opportunities camouflaged as challenges.
All CTIE interventions are accompanied by an evaluation of outcomes relative to the effectiveness and value of delivered services. We strive for continuous learning and improvement.
