HERE this NOW is thrilled to announce its first annual Trauma-Responsive Schools Conference. The event will take place May 9th-May 11th at The Woodbound Inn in Rindge, NH. The event locale was selected for its central location in New England (2-hours from Boston, 3-hours from Portland, ME, 4-hours from Albany, NY).
This conference experience will be unlike other conference formats. Registration is limited to 40 participants to maximize psychological safety, depth of learning, and individualized attention.
Participants will be guided by experienced trauma-informed consultants Lara Kain, Emily Read Daniels, and Jim Sporleder in the principles and strategies of creating trauma-responsive school environments. This immersive 2-night, 3-day experience will equip trauma-informed champions with the knowledge and skills to shepherd trauma-informed change in their respective settings.
This conference format was piloted in the fall of 2018 with great success. Participants universally rated the experience as "excellent" and offered similar reflections.
"This was an incredible journey of professional and personal growth. Lots of application to so many areas of professional and personal life." - Laura Thomas, trauma-informed coach, TREE, Maine
"I have attended many professional conferences and this far surpasses any of them. The level of engagement, knowledge, and experience shared by the presenters is unsurpassed." -Tracie Travers, JMG coach, Maine
"This was, by far, the most engaging, intentional and powerful training I have ever attended. I have been working on TIC practices/understanding for a few years, but the depth and richness of this information was new." - Julie Voelker, Principal, WISD, Michigan
We hope you can join us for what is a unique training experience that intends to leave participants feeling refreshed and prepared to move their schools toward being trauma-responsive. More information at: http://herethisnow.org/workshops/#school-culture
