Abstract: Students from three Canadian universities (University of Calgary, University of Manitoba, University of Waterloo) participated in focus group interviews to share their experiences of how traumatic content was addressed in social work schools and their perceptions of trauma-informed pedagogy. In the focus groups, student participants were given a definition/description of trauma-informed pedagogy and then they were asked to share their perceptions of the strategies and practices that would support them on their journey from student to professional social worker. The focus groups occurred on a virtual platform (Zoom) and were audio recorded and transcribed. Braun and Clarke's framework for thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Four themes emerged from the data: recognizing and understanding trauma, modeling trauma-informed pedagogy through safer spaces, elements of a trauma-informed learning environment, and pedagogical practices. Implications and recommendations speak to current shifts in postsecondary education, specifically postpandemic, that require attention to trauma-informed pedagogies to support students in online and face-to-face social work education.
