2nd Annual Trauma Responsive Schools Conference - Virtual

 

Pre-pandemic, educators said we were facing challenges not experienced by older generations.  This pandemic makes that notion truer than ever.

This pandemic is a rapidly emerging collective stress that is reshaping the structure and fabric of experience in most every facet of life, but especially in education.  It pushes us to adapt creatively and to think outside our typical “box.” 


And yet, in every crisis opportunity lurks.

Three nationally recognized trauma-informed consultants have redesigned their Annual Trauma-Responsive Schools Conference to reflect the most pressing considerations of this time as acknowledged from a wide-variety of evidence-informed sources.

HERE this NOW wants to help educators slow down, reorient, and move forward through this time thoughtfully, intentionally, and with as much safety as possible.  

Please join Emily Daniels, James Moffett, and Lara Kain and special guests Shannon Fuller and Scott Daniels as they gently guide participants through presentations, whole group and breakout discussions: 

  • Impact of Collective Stress on the School Community and Preventing Collective Trauma

  • Pandemic Grief
  • Social-Emotional Growth During Prolonged Social Distancing
