At Bless-Ed Day Academy, we understand that some students carry the weight of difficult life experiences that can impact how they learn, behave, and connect with others. Our trauma therapy program provides a safe and supportive space where children can begin to heal while continuing their education.

Trauma therapy in schools uses evidence-based approaches to help students process their experiences, build healthy coping skills, and develop emotional resilience. In practice, this means teaching children how to manage stress, regulate their emotions, and feel safe enough to focus on learning and friendships. Licensed therapists work closely with students, families, and teachers to create consistent support both in the classroom and at home.

Our goal is to nurture a child’s sense of safety, self-worth, and belonging. By addressing the effects of trauma with compassion and clinical care, we empower students to grow, succeed academically, and thrive socially and emotionally building a stronger foundation for their future.
