Minding Your Trauma will provide participants with an understanding of trauma, trauma responses, and methods for healing and resilience. Acknowledging and attending to personal, communal, or generational trauma can begin a healing and resilience process for those who have experienced, are experiencing, or have witnessed traumatic events. Survivors, co-survivors, and witnesses will gain skills to identify, name, and release trauma. Community members who have not experienced violence directly will be offered key insights to shape how they interact with others who have experienced trauma. Participants will leave this virtual session knowing that they can contribute to a community of care where trauma is an experience to be acknowledged and mindful of, but that it does not define the person affected. Led by SVR. Please note that this session fulfills the Sexual Respect Initiative (SRI) requirement of the Community Citizenship Initiative.
This session will be virtual and requires advance registration as participants will need to pick up materials from the SVR table on the Lerner Ramps. Pick up location and time can be found below. This event is open to all members of the Columbia community and participants do not have to have experienced violence directly to register.
