Summary. The article conducts an analysis of domestic and foreign studies on the implementation of trauma-sensitive teaching in higher education institutions. The research aims to identify key aspects and principles of trauma-sensitive teaching and analyze their applicability in Ukrainian higher education institutions. The concept of «trauma-sensitive teaching» is expanded in connection with approaches aimed at reducing the traumatic impact of the educational process on both students and educators. The principles of trauma-sensitive teaching in Ukrainian higher education institutions are elucidated, with special attention given to the challenges of implementing trauma-sensitive teaching in the context of temporarily displaced higher education institutions. The main aspects of the research include the analysis of students’ traumatic experiences, the formation of resilience and stress resistance during education in conditions of constant change and stressful situations. The study includes an assessment of the prospects for implementing a trauma-sensitive approach in higher education, an analysis of the advantages and limitations of implementing trauma-sensitive teaching in the educational process, and a discussion of strategies and resources necessary for successful implementation. An attempt is made to identify potential obstacles and ways to overcome them in the implementation of trauma-sensitive teaching. The article provides examples of implementing programs and courses to familiarize pedagogical and academic staff of higher education institutions with the fundamentals of trauma-sensitive teaching. As an example of the implementation of such programs in the context of war, the experience of the Pryazovsk State Technical University is proposed.
