✨Calling all School Mental Health Champions✨
School is in session! Please join us next week for the FINAL workshop in our six-part series...
🗣️ The Heart Work: Equity-Centered Coaching Practices for Trauma-Informed Collegiality and Collective Healing
🗓️ Wednesday, April 24, 2024 | 2:30 - 4:00 p.m. PT
In this workshop, facilitated by Melissa Smith, M.S. (she/hers), we will explore the principles of equity-centered coaching to cultivate trauma-informed school environments. Together, we will examine our own identities, assumptions, patterns, and beliefs - creating space for new perspectives. This self-reflection enables us to recognize how inequities and trauma manifest in our schools. As we build self-awareness about our experiences and worldviews, we become better able to perceive concerning dynamics and interrupt cycles of harm.
Coaching conversations, grounded in active listening, cultural humility, and psychological safety, model the equitable interactions we hope administrators have with educators and providers, so that educators and providers can offer the same experience with their students. This workshop invites us to envision the trauma-informed and healing-centered schools we desire – places where adults possess the tools to nurture their well-being and fully empower students. We will review evidence-based tools, rationale, and resources to foster cultural humility, mitigate systemic barriers, and build trusting partnerships across the school community.

✨✨✨✨At SCRR we often begin with ‘School crisis readiness is essential. Response is critical. And: what happens after matters, too.’ Last week, our field coach Brianna Young offered two workshops based on our learnings to the Idaho Prevention and Support Conference where participants explored what we mean when we say ‘recovery and renewal,’ and dipped their toes into exploring what it might mean for themselves.
Are you interested in learning more about these concepts and how they might apply to your professional and personal experiences? Are you curious about what an immersive exploration of recovery and renewal might look like for you and your school crisis leadership?
Join us on April 25, 2024 for our SCRR 2024 Spring Network of Practice where our inaugural SCRR Leadership Fellows will present their capstones - a culminating project from their experiences within our fellowship - and learn more about how they have come to define - and experience - their own recovery and renewal.
