Abstract
Many children are exposed to significantly adverse experiences that affect their behavior, mental and physical health, and future life. The following text outlines these circumstances and offers a solution in the form of comprehensive support of children mental health through the introduction of a school-wide trauma informed approach.
With the PBIS implementation framework, schools can respond flexibly to pupils' needs and behaviors within three tiers of behavioral support. The research survey evaluated the first-tier implementation stage of the three pilot schools after their enrolment in the project and the initial training of the school faculty.
The validated tool Benchmarks of Quality used to measure fidelity od PBSI implementation uncovered that the first level of support has not yet been fully implemented in pilot schools.
