Itβs Back!
A Moment of Pause: Time to Cultivate Trauma Informed Communication
ποΈ September 16, 2024 β’ September 23, 2024 β’ September 30, 2024 β’ October 7, 2024
β° 9:30 a.m. β 11:30 a.m. PT / 11:30 a.m. β 1:30 p.m. CT / 12:30 p.m. β 2:30 p.m. ET
This is a no cost, virtual offering!
This series of coaching clinics focuses on trauma-informed communication after a big experience (e.g., crises). Throughout four facilitated sessions, SCRR Field Coach Antoine Moore leads you through a combination of content learning, practice, and reflection.
Leading through a crisis requires that we communicate in ways that are clear, transparent and prioritize the health and well-being of the workforce. Trauma-informed communication during, through, and after a crisis acknowledges that how you frame and deliver information will influence how people will experience events and circumstances. Leaders must be highly attentive or they risk inadvertently exacerbating distress in how they communicate.
In each session, youβll be invited to share training, facilitation, and coaching dilemmas and learnings, receive peer coaching from SCRR staff and fellow cohort members, and take time to process how to hold space for yourself and those you serve.
Intended Audience
Service providers, trainers, facilitators and coaches who work with schools

This is a no-cost, virtual offering!
Join us in a year-long series for school-based or connected service providers who want to engage in reflective inquiry around how the experiences weβve lived through impact and inform our ability to provide responsive mental health services for students, young people, and those we serve.
Together with SCRR and a roster of expert guest clinical supervisors explore how we might alchemize harmful accounts into emotionally corrective experiences for ourselves and our communities, promote our relational interdependence and cultivate the conditions within our school communities that allows us to be human AND boundaried.
Intended Audience
Anyone who tends to the wellbeing of young people in school settings (therapists/clinicians, case managers, mentors, life coaches, restorative justice coordinators, guidance counselors, social workers, etc.).
This series is open to all, new and repeat participants. You can come to one session, some sessions, or all! Every session is standalone.
