This study sought to understand the emotional, and potentially traumatic, experiences of 23 school public relations (PR) practitioners throughout the United States as they navigate a changing, and increasingly politicized, educational landscape. By arguing that school PR constitutes a high-risk profession, we sought to understand PR practitioners’ processes of communicative resilience and the degree to which it includes trauma-informed principles. Findings from this study include recognizing the need to include emotional safety in the crafting of normalcy and the use of strategic non-transparency as an alternative logic. We also argue that legitimizing negative feelings is a form of productive action
