Reply to "Virtual "Safe Spaces" for Online Training"

An idea to consider is incorporating some regulation/grounding activities into the training.  By doing so you can help prime the people for learning, teach good coping skills, and help them regulate periodically in case they are getting worked up at all.  We start off Adverse Childhood Experiences Interface virtual training with a disclosure that since it is virtual we are unable to check on them as we do in person if they leave the room without a thumbs up, we also put a resource list up in the beginning and again at the end of the training in case the info hits them a little later after it is processed.  We ask that people leave their cameras on so that we can monitor facial expressions and reach out individually in chat if we are concerned.  Having people devoted to checking in is a great idea, although it is a bit more difficult during virtual training.  Very important work you're doing, especially given the current state of the world.  Stress and toxic stress is having a huge impact on the world, and many have people are experiencing grief from loss or separation.
