Prepare for Fall: Trauma-Informed Student Support – new!
Friday, August 16, 2024, 12:30 – 2 pm
Led by Heather Rist, LPC, EAW Counselor
Attending college can be stressful. Students are going through a lot of significant life changes while getting their education. This fall is likely to be even more intense due to the increased division in our country and tragedy in the world. Let us prepare to continue to support and guide students through these trying times with compassion, wisdom, and calm by exploring trauma-informed philosophy and practice and applying it to student support.
This workshop is intended to be an advanced offering in the Trauma-Informed Care series offered by EAW. The Foundations of Trauma-Informed Care modules are a great place to start your trauma-informed learning process; please see the description below* for more information. Though it is not required to take the Foundations modules prior to attending this workshop, it is recommended for more thorough understanding.
