Please join us for our series Education Upended: Talking Out of Turn. This series features a conversation facilitated by Lara Kain, PACEsConnection education consultant, with special guests on education-related current events and hot topics. We will use a trauma-informed and PACEs science-aware lens to examine what's going on K-12 education, what needs changing, and strategies being used in the field to disrupt harmful policies and make positive changes in the system.
October session, Wednesday, October 5th, 12-1:30 pm PST- Join us for our rescheduled session as we discuss "Creating Therapeutic Spaces in Schools" with special guest Dr. Alicia Williams. Ensuring we have trauma-informed environments is an important part of the journey; just wait until you see the rooms she has transformed!
