Understanding Trauma-Informed Discipline Response and Behavior System

A Trauma-Informed Discipline Response and Behavior System (TIDRBS) necessitates a shift in perspective. It moves from questioning "What's wrong with you?" to "What happened to you?" It is based on the recognition that trauma can significantly impact a person's behavior, emotions, relationships, and academic success[^1^].

While trauma can arise out of various circumstances such as abuse, neglect, violence, or significant loss, the trauma-informed approach allows us to actually see and respond to the root cause of problematic behavior rather than merely addressing the behavioral symptoms.

A TIDRBS gives educators the tools to mitigate the negative impacts of trauma and create a safe, supportive school environment conducive to learning and growth.
