Abstract
Traumatic experiences across the lifespan impact an individual's physical, social and emotional health, and cognitive development. The effects of childhood trauma carry into the educational environment and impact the functions necessary to learn and achieve academic goals. There is an increased focus on trauma informed initiatives in various public and healthcare sectors, but these initiatives are lacking in higher education.

This chapter provides an overview of the impact of trauma, what it means to be trauma informed, and outlines trauma informed educational strategies.
