    The Eucalypt Way: Trauma-informed education for Australia
    Howard, J ; Brunzell, T ; Brown, M ; Dawson, C ; L'Estrange, L ; Langton, G (Berry Street Education Model & School of Early Childhood and Inclusion, Queensland University of Technology, 2022)
    The Eucalypt Way provides educators with a pathway to understanding the impacts of trauma on the learning and engagement of children and young people, and provides practical steps to support healing and growth. The eucalypt has been chosen as our metaphor for this work, because the species has evolved over millennia to suit the diverse Australian landscape. Eucalypts hold flammable oils and are vulnerable to heat and fire, but they also have unique properties that support their recovery from trauma and allow them to survive and to thrive.
