Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills have been demonstrated to be effective in helping adolescents manage difficult emotional situations, cope with stress, and make better decisions. This title is part of The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by T. Promoting Student Happiness: Positive Psychology Interventions in Schools. Therapeutic practice in the classroom. We all know the student, the one whose stress response goes from zero to 100 at seemingly small triggers; whose defiant moments test the teacher’s hourly resolve; and whose initial resistance towards a classroom task can lead to the tanking of an entire school day.
A child’s response to classroom learning can be fraught with adversity while continuously activating the stress response—their own and those around them. An individual student’s trauma history can dramatically influence classroom group behaviours, given the considerable relational and regulatory deficits that can occur because of trauma’s effects on unmet developmental needs and on compromised systems of family and community. Trauma-informed teaching models have consistently positioned relationships as the conduit of learning; and self-regulation as a key skill to meet deficit areas of emotional and physical development (Wolpow et al., 2009).
Teachers must be ready to understand their classroom as a therapeutic milieu. Social & Emotional Issues - Teacher Resources.

NPC Luncheon with Goldie Hawn. The Positivity Institute Dr. Suzy Green Positive Psychology. Does your school have a scientifically based well-being or pastoral care program? How much does your school focus on welfare in comparison to creating a proactive well-being strategy? Are your students and staff flourishing? How can your school help reach the target of 51% of the world’s population flourishing by 2051 – as articulated by the Founding Father of Positive Psychology, Professor Martin Seligman?
Whilst historically, schools may have aimed for academic excellence as sole evidence for their success, there are growing numbers of schools who are now acknowledging the need to develop students in a more holistic way – with a stronger focus on well-being, Much of this is in recognition of the increasing statistics on psychological distress and mental illness in our children and adolescents, and the realisation of the need to take a more proactive, rather than reactive approach to mental health. The Positivity Institute is a leader in Positive Education in Australia and globally.
