Creating Safe Schools with Trauma-Sensitive Practices—with Dr. Anne Katona Linn- EP263

Wickedly Smart Women

Teachers get minimal training on behavior management before they’re thrown into the field. And few understand how trauma might affect their students’ emotional health.

So, how can we help schools identify the kiddos that need support? How can we foster an environment where students and staff feel safe?

Dr. Anne Katona Linn is the Educational Coach behind Katona Linn Consulting, a firm that supports schools in creating a safe, supportive and successful environment.

Dr. Anne is committed to addressing the mental, emotional and behavioral health challenges schools face and helping teachers build trauma-sensitive, resilient classrooms.

On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Dr. Anne joins Anjel to discuss how her own childhood trauma informs her work and describe how trauma impacts our physical and emotional health.

Dr. Anne explains why imposter syndrome is stronger in people with trauma and offers advice on building a support network and setting boundaries for your own self-care.

Listen in for insight around the biggest challenges teachers face and learn how Dr. Anne’s coaching empowers schools to build emotionally and physically safe environments.
