NBHI: 2026 Leadership Symposium
The Nina B. Hollis Institute warmly invites you to our Summer Symposium,
"From Surviving to Thriving: Leadership Strategies for Trauma-Responsive Education"
Designed with school leaders in mind, this symposium will focus on the critical role principals play in shaping trauma-responsive school cultures that support both student success and educator well-being. As instructional and organizational leaders, principals are uniquely positioned to move schools beyond crisis management toward resilience, stability, and growth.
Participants will explore:
- How trauma impacts student behavior, learning, and staff morale
- Leadership practices that promote psychological safety, trust, and belonging
- Strategies for supporting teachers while preventing burnout and compassion fatigue
- System-level approaches to creating trauma-responsive schools and sustaining change
The symposium offers a collaborative space to reflect on leadership practice, gain practical tools, and connect with fellow principals navigating similar challenges.
