Decolonized Trauma-Informed Practice:
Professional Development Course
8-week intensive virtual professional development opportunity to help you identify and implement specific trauma-informed practices for your role.
This is for you if you...
-
interact with others - either within or outside your organization.
​
-
work at a organization, community or business who is looking to embed more trauma-informed practices in your day-to-day. You might already have a solid knowledge base, but the beauty of coming together in a group setting is getting a little hive mind support to dive deeper.
​
-
have encountered situations where people you interact with may have been triggered or dysregulated and you weren't sure how to prevent it or respond to it.
​
-
are committed to creating a culture of safety and care.
​
-
work with populations who have been marginalized by systemic oppression and you want to reduce opportunities for re-traumatization.
​
-
are open and curious to exploring how you can adjust your interactions to support others to feel more at ease.
​
-
enjoy putting evidence-based theory into practice. This is a very practical learning course where you will be constantly applying the content to your specific role.
​
-
appreciate group, experiential and interactive learning. This is a "roll-up your sleeves and get dirty" kind of learning. We will be regularly drawing on the collective wisdom of the group.
