Trauma-informed online education - developing a world-first framework

Tara Mannix and Mike Phillips, co-directors of the Monash Virtual School, along with Dr Emily Berger from the School of Educational Psychology and Counselling, participated in a workshop at the Monash University Prato Centre in Italy.

The workshop aimed to develop a pioneering model of trauma-informed practice in online education, focusing on children displaced by the war in Ukraine.
