Description
We often receive advice on trauma-informed training aimed at meeting youth where they are. However, this advice often translates to providing bean bags, fidgets, and worksheets, which only address surface-level wounds. This workshop aims to go beyond superficial solutions by integrating trauma-informed practices into spaces while also addressing the necessary mindset required to foster environments that welcome youth from diverse backgrounds. Additionally, it offers resources to reimagine youth programs and classrooms through holistic goal setting and student leadership development. By incorporating trauma-informed approaches into different youth-focused initiatives, we can establish supportive environments where young people can truly flourish.
