FEATURING TRAUMA EXPERT
HEATHER T. FORBES, LCSW

Heather Forbes, consults and lectures extensively with both general and special education schools around the world. She is an internationally published author on the topics of raising children with difficult and severe behaviors, the impact of trauma on the developing child, adoptive motherhood and school transformation. Her best-selling book, Help for Billy, provides parents and educators with essential methods for managing the classroom behavior of the child with complex trauma. Her most recent book is focused on providing schools with practical strategies to create trauma-informed classrooms. Classroom180: A Framework for Creating, Sustaining and Assessing the Trauma-Informed Classroom, includes a practical rubric that outlines 27 components of a trauma-informed classroom.

Heather partnered with Educational Impact to help bring her books to life with real classroom videos and create a step by step training program for all staff. The Trauma-Informed Online Academy was developed through field studies and collaboration with teachers and our eLearning experts to create a comprehensive scope and sequence that is transforming schools worldwide.

"One and done workshops just aren't enough to create real change in our schools. That's why I've put so much time and energy into working with Educational Impact to develop more than 70 hours of online videos and courses for school wide trauma-informed training. Now you can get everyone on the same page!" Heather T. Forbes, LCSW
