As teachers we are around our students so often that we have the ability and responsibility to observe changes in their behavior and be a supportive person who helps them through so many challenging situations, including the trauma that so many students face. 

Understanding triggers from our students can be so challenging because they are often times so similar to other issues going on for the student. Creating a safe place for all students is so crucial! 

PTSD is commonly misdiagnosed which makes it harder to help treat.
