Abstract

In this chapter, the authors will explore the connection between adverse childhood experiences, social determinants of health, and the educational outcomes of children. The chapter will discuss how social-emotional learning and trauma-informed healing-centered education can positively impact marginalized populations' educational and mental health outcomes. The chapter will provide the reader with an overview of trauma, social-emotional learning, trauma-informed care, and healing-centered schools. Additionally, the chapter will offer two different case studies to explore the impact that this can have on a graduate counseling program and a community-based healing-centered summer program for adolescents who have experienced trauma.
