Trauma Informed Education

Education is key to breaking the cycle of intergenerational disadvantage, and every young person should be able to access education that meets their needs.

Across Australia, we are seeing an increase in school refusal and the number of children disengaged from mainstream education. 

Berry Street isn’t often thought of as an education provider. Still, as one of their core service offerings, they take education incredibly seriously and are always investing in new and innovative programs to meet young people where they’re at. 

In this episode, Podcast Host Richelle Hunt talks to Tom Brunzell, Director of Education at Berry Street. He manages trauma-informed education through the Berry Street School, an independent specialist secondary school, and the Berry Street Education Model. 

Richelle also meets Louise Childs, Lead Teacher at the Berry Street School. She provides great insight into how different the Berry Street School operates compared to mainstream schools, and what they’re learning from this model.
