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

I invite you to check out our 'trauma-informed meeting guidelines' which is one of the free offerings on our resource page at echotraining.org. Many of the same things apply whether the meeting is in-person or virtual.

I would not insist on seeing people's faces. I find Zoom very intrusive, especially as people see into my home. Give people the safety of just calling in if they want to.

Can you ask people to find 'empathy buddies' when you do breakout rooms? That way everyone has someone to talk with. Of course, you should explain what empathy is and what it is not beforehand. (Not explaining, comparing experiences, problem-solving, etc.)

My 2 cents.
