SESSION 1 Trauma-Informed Care Meets Healing-Centered Care Wednesday, February 28 3:00 - 4:30 p.m. PT (view in your timezone) • • • • •  DESCRIPTION Join us in dialogue that deepens our ability to provide healing care to transitional-aged young people who access mental health and community-based services in Region 9 and beyond. Through generative conversation, expert panel discussions, active learning experiences, and the exploration of tangible action steps, we will expand our existing orientation to the work we do with transitional aged youth to encompass a more culturally sustaining and affirming approach. Pulling from the powerful work of Shawn Ginwright, we will amplify the ways in which a healing-centered approach dismantles the notion that trauma is simply an individual, isolated experience, while highlighting the ways trauma and healing are experienced collectively. This series will also draw from the valuable scholarship and practice of Rodrick Watts, Virgil Morehead, Monique Morris and Gloria Lansing Billings. AUDIENCE All community-based organizations, institutions, and mental health professionals, including peer support specialists, therapists, psychologists, counselors, and others who support the mental health and wellness of transition-aged youth.
