Cincinnati leads the way in trauma-informed care
The Bridgeport Exempted Village School District is honing their efforts to address students’ mental and emotional well-being by conducting professional development training.
The Bridgeport Exempted Village School District, a small town located on the boarder of Ohio and West Virginia with just 776 students enrolled in K-12, has committed to trauma-informed care training.
According to high school counselor Vicki Falcone, “The entire district took part in the training, including teachers, custodians, bus drivers, cooks, and aides.”
