Ukeru TOT

Ukeru is a trauma-informed approach to crisis management that prioritizes safety, comfort, and connection over traditional control-based methods. Developed by Grafton Integrated Health Network, Ukeru is a restraint-free model designed for educators and caregivers working with students who have experienced trauma or struggle with emotional and behavioral regulation. Instead of relying on physical intervention, Ukeru equips staff with practical strategies to de-escalate challenging situations in a way that protects dignity and reduces the risk of re-traumatization. The approach emphasizes understanding the root causes of behavior, fostering trust, and creating emotionally safe learning environments for all students.
