Families in temporary housing may experience trauma due to sudden loss of housing, economic hardship, or adjusting to the conditions of shelter life. Family connections with schools can have a positive impact on student success. This webinar will explore the impact of trauma on safety and well-being and explore ways to affirm family experiences through trauma-sensitive practices.

 

Participants will:

 

• Identify different types of trauma, including intergenerational and systemic trauma.

• Understand the impact of trauma, as well as discrimination and racism, on students and families through the lens of equity and social determinants of health.

• Explore strategies to support, engage and empower families with cultural humility, respect, and empathy.
