A trauma-informed MTSS framework integrates compassionate, schoolwide practices that support both student well-being and academic success. Rather than adding new initiatives, apply a trauma lens to existing routines, relationships, and policies. Research highlights the importance of professional learning, cross-role collaboration, and staff wellness as key components of sustainable implementation. By aligning trauma-informed strategies with the MTSS structure, schools can create consistent, supportive environments where all students and staff can thrive.
