Creating the Container for Us: How to Hold Space for Ourselves & Each Other After Student Death

{View as Webpage} Returning Workshop Creating the Container for Us: How to Hold Space for Ourselves & Each Other After Student Death  February 29, 2024 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. PT/ 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. CT/ 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. ET (view your time zone) A no-cost, virtual opportunity Join SCRR and The Dinner Party Labs for a special seminar on how to facilitate space-holding for educators after a student dies, & the role of collective rituals in processing. Let’s support the supporters and care for the caregivers.  The task of creating and holding space for the adult staff in a school, system, division, or organization after student death is one that we as administrators, staff, and school leadership rarely get support with.     During the seminar, participants will learn how to organize a gathering, and the ins and outs of holding space: from how to structure a gathering, to how to care for yourself and others, to what to do when things go awry.    Join us to:  Learn how to hold space for educators to connect and share about what it means to teach, lead school sites or systems, and provide school services after the death of a student or alum.  Gain guidance and tips on how to create intentional, peer-led spaces for educators to engage in conversation around their experience with death-related, school-based losses as a means towards healing.  Have experiential time to hone our “holding space skills”: how to notice and name what you have capacity for, learning to sit with discomfort — be it your own or that of a grieving friend or colleague, how to ask good questions, and group facilitation strategies to create and maintain a safe space.  Explore evidence-based research on the specific impact of engaging in rituals collectively as opposed to individually. Engage in reflective practice that in itself allows you to better lead your community and team Find out more and register here Faculty Leora Wolf-Prusan (she/her) EdD SCRR Project Director Leora Wolf-Prusan serves as the Project Director for the School Crisis Recovery & Renewal project and as the School Mental Health field director for the Pacific Southwest Mental Health Technology Transfer Center (MHTTC), in addition to many other facilitation projects. Wolf-Prusan is dedicated to work focused on educator mental health, wellness, and trauma-informed approaches to education and operates through a framework in which public health, social work, and education intersect. Her research examined the impact of student death on teachers, what factors contribute to teachers building resiliency, and what supports teachers need from the school system in the event of a student homicide or other traumas. She received a BA in international relations and a BA in Spanish with a minor in Social & Ethnic Relations from the University of California, Davis; a teaching credential from Mills College; and an EdD in educational leadership from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Guest Faculty Lennon Flowers (she/her) Co-founder & Executive Director, The Dinner Party Lennon lost her mom during her senior year of college, following a four-year fight with lung cancer. Three years later, she hitched up her wagon and headed West. Three-thousand miles away from home, she found she no longer had anyone with whom she could talk about her mom, and explore the way in which her life, death, and absence continued to affect her. When Carla, a friend, colleague, and soon-to-be roommate, invited her over for dinner, it was a no-brainer. In January 2017, she, together with partners at Faith Matters Network and Hollaback!, launched The People’s Supper: a nationwide effort to create healing spaces that strengthen our individual and collective resilience and wellbeing, and to repair the breach in our interpersonal relationships across political, ideological, and identity differences. Lennon previously served as Community Director for Ashoka’s Start Empathy Initiative.

I don’t know if you’ve connected with the School Crisis Recovery and Renewal Project, and wanted to be sure that you are aware of their incredible work and supportive offerings. I’ve been fortunate to partner with Leora Wolf-Prusan over the last year and highly recommend her organization’s work. If you would like an introduction to Leora to explore support for TTSD staff and students, I’d be glad to make that happen. They work directly with districts post crisis to support short and long-term recovery and healing. 

 

I thought I would forward info about their upcoming session: Working with Grief in the Context of Violence (see below). All sessions with SCRR are free and usually virtual. If you scroll down, you can find the agenda and workshops available. 

 

Please let me know if you’d like more information or to connect. Thinking of you all. 

 

In community and care,
