Description
The connection between first-generation students and trauma has been a well-known topic for quite some time. First-generation students may not only face stressors such as financial stress, low self-esteem, cultural displacement, and lack of academic preparation and guidance, but research has also shown first-generation students to report higher scores of adverse childhood experiences (ACES). As college staff and faculty it is our duty to integrate trauma-informed care into first-generation students experience. By approaching our daily interactions with a trauma-informed lens it can promote their mental well-being, and ultimately support their academic success.
