Letting Go of this Year to Prepare for Next Year

Trauma Informed Care, skills and practices will be more important than ever upon return to the classrooms this fall. During this workshop teachers/staff will reflect upon the emotional toll of the past year as well as identify emotional triggers, learn emotional regulation skills, and the importance of co-regulation between student and teacher. Participants will receive a resource for self-care to explore their own eight dimensions of wellness--from the inside out. Some may choose to focus on just one dimension, while others may see connections among them all. Walk away understanding simple steps to create a healing environment that values the whole person.
