Editorial: Trauma-informed education

Trauma-informed education has emerged as a novel approach to teaching and learning to support children and young people at school. Acknowledging interdisciplinary advances from the fields of neurobiology, therapeutics, wellbeing and social justice scholarship, the paradigm of trauma-informed education is relatively new. It is necessary in a service-rationing education sector to ensure that efforts toward improvements in teaching and learning approaches encompass the impacts of chronic stress experienced by today's students. These stresses result from increasing levels across the world of child maltreatment, family instability, lingering impacts of COVID-19 and other health troubles, economic uncertainty, political instability, and other continuing community concerns (Hammerstein et al., 2021; Drotning et al., 2023; Leigh et al., 2023).
