Trauma Informed Practices
Date: Tuesday, October 17, 2023
When: 9:00 am-12:00 pm Please register here by October 10th to receive the zoom link for the presentation.
Nationally, 4-H has made a commitment to provide opportunities for all youth to thrive! In order to do this, 4-H professionals must commit to increasing understanding of common principles related to diversity, inclusion, and equity. This session will focus on understanding terminology and practices related to access, equity, and culturally relevant teaching. Additionally, this session will focus on trauma informed practice. Trauma is historical, structural, political, intergenerational, interpersonal and embodied. So then, must be our healing. This session will introduce these concepts and share strategies to implement them in our work.
