From Tiers to Trust: A Trauma-Responsive Approach to PBIS and MTSS

What if your PBIS and MTSS systems could do more than manage behavior and track data? What if they could also heal, empower, and build resilience for every student? This session invites participants to explore how a trauma-responsive lens can enrich these frameworks, ensuring that equity, relational trust, and emotional safety are intentionally embedded at every tier. Through guided discussion, participants will reflect on their own practices, consider practical strategies, and leave with clear and actionable next steps. The session will conclude with a Q&A focused on real-world applications in diverse school contexts.
