Abstract
Trauma stands as a profound public health concern, underscored by the distressing reality that up to two-thirds of U.S. children have encountered at least one type of serious childhood trauma — ranging from abuse and neglect to natural disasters and violence — and that 70% of U.S. adults have faced traumatic events at least once in their life (CDC, 2022). Within the higher education landscape, this statistic suggests that instructors are very likely to engage with students carrying a history of trauma. Understanding trauma's effects and adopting effective teaching strategies for students affected by trauma is therefore essential.
