Bio: Rachel Archambault, MA CCC-SLP is an SLP Program

Specialist for Broward County Public Schools.

After experiencing a nationally publicized traumatic experience at her workplace, she looked for ways to help work with students (and herself) after trauma. She found trauma-informed care and has been presenting nationally to SLPs as well as other healthcare providers on how TIC can be used in their setting.

Title: "Trauma-Informed Care in Schools"

Being a trauma-informed SLP means that we are actively trying to reduce the risk of causing harm. Not only to our students, but our coworkers and ouselves as well. Trauma-informed care changes the question from "what's wrong with you?" to "what happened to you?" We must adopt this mindset with our students and their families in order to reduce our capability of causing harm.
