Reminder: Free Webinar on How to Create Trauma Responsive Educational Institutions

Title: How to Create Trauma Responsive Institutions and Why it Matters
 
Date: Friday, January 31, 2020,  1-2:30pmET
 
DescriptionWe live in a world of increasing trauma, whether created by nature (fires, floods, earthquakes) or by individuals (shootings, suicides, family dysfunction, addictions). We carry our trauma with us and many students in college, arguably one in two, has experienced trauma in their lives and will display trauma symptomology moving forward. Trauma symptomology affects learning outcomes as well as psycho-social and physical well-being. Colleges and their faculty/staff would benefit from becoming trauma responsive on the micro and macro levels, enabling improved retention, academic progression and graduation rates. In this 90-minute Yes We Must Coalition webinar, Karen Gross, a former college president and an author and educator specializing in trauma, will provide at least 10 concrete strategies that colleges and those who work within them can deploy, all grounded in theory, to provide a more trauma responsive environment for their students (regardless of their age and stage). There will be hands on activities that webinar participants can try during the webinar as well as opportunities for questions and discussion. In addition, attendees will receive a discount on Gross's forthcoming book, Trauma Does Not Stop at the School Door, which will be released in June 2020.
