Overview:
The burden and realities of COVID-19 has probably left a lot of us feeling a bit more stressed.
When we are under acute stress we are more likely to be operating from the survival areas of our brain, which means that our thinking becomes much more black and white, our attention is more narrowly focused on the immediate here and now, we start to have difficulty planning or thinking ahead, we have difficulty regulating our emotions, and we become less able to make decisions.
For communities of color, add the realities of being a Black or Brown body in America, and you're there are constant threats to your safety. A trauma sensitive approach can help reduce or prevent a trauma response.
In this 2-hour intensive, we deepen our knowledge of the impact of ACEs on children's learning and behaving, and work to reframe our thinking to heal and build resilience in the children and families we serve. In addition, we look at techniques, strategies, and tools to support our own emotional well-being in this work. With a framework to build resiliency in ourselves, we'll become much more effective, sensitive, and responsive professionals working with or on behalf of children.
Why I Should Attend:
As children become more and more exposed to the issue of COVID-19, racism and white supremacy through media, daily experience, and history, they need adult guidance to navigate all of the information and experiences. Youth's resilience and resistance to systemic oppression can be increased by creating an environment that acknowledges the role of systemic racism inside and outside of their homes, community spaces, and schools, and how that is perpetuated by intergenerational poverty, current community unrest, and intentional targeting of young people of color by those in power.
