Traumatic experiences have the potential to influence neurological development which can change the way a person behaves, learns, and builds relationships. While the footprint of trauma has always been prevalent, the mental health of America's children has rapidly declined and has been described as a crisis. PreK-12 classroom teachers are working to best support children in this vastly different emotional climate, and, consequently, teachers claim they do not feel prepared to best support traumatized children in the classroom. Researchers assert that trauma-informed training should not happen after the teacher is already working in PreK-12 schools, but rather during the teacher preparation program. The purpose of this qualitative research study was to learn how faculty in teacher preparation programs are incorporating trauma-informed principles into their course requirements. The data were collected from semi-structured interviews with full-time education faculty from across the United States. The interviews shared themes that illuminated important facilitators and barriers to incorporating trauma-informed training in preservice education. The themes were; Personal Trauma Experience, Trauma-Informed Advocacy, Emotional Readiness, Evolution of Trauma Awareness, and Collaborative and Cooperative Efforts. The data revealed similarities to current literature in that unique collaborative efforts are facilitators in incorporating trauma-informed training into the coursework. A unique theme that emerged from this research was the emotional readiness of current preservice teachers. This research showed preservice teachers are emotionally ready to not only discuss challenging principles of trauma but also apply the principles to their own lives and experiences in turn helping them work through their past traumatic experiences.
