SupaJam understand that many of our students have experienced or are currently experiencing various degrees of trauma. Whether this be in their personal lives, or from not having their needs met throughout their time in education. We recognise the wide-spread impact of trauma which helps us to look beyond the individuals behaviours. SupaJam’s role is not to treat any trauma related challenges but to help by removing barriers to enable students to access the right support.
