Thoroughly enjoying @BenjaminPerks new book. Full of science, strategies and stories shaping trauma-proof societies. I know our @TISUK_ practitioners would devour this one.

The piece is from 2022 but it will still be of help to all teachers. 'Trauma-informed teaching' is basically 'biologically-informed teaching'. I think the education system has a moral & professional responsibility to help teachers understand this information.

A range of studies have been published recently about the impact of ACEs. Here's a THREAD summarising them.

1. When measured during pregnancy, women with higher ACE scores were found to have greater epigenetic aging. This aging appears to alter the genome of the babies, especially in boys.
