Minnesota Children’s Alliance (the Alliance) is excited to host A Trauma-Informed Approach for Moving Beyond Competence to Intelligence with Brandon Jones, MFT, Wednesday, May 19, 2021, 9:00 a.m. – noon, via Zoom HealthCare.
Training Overview
This training will provide participants a learning opportunity to move forward with the understandings of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion work. Many have had learning opportunities in “Cultural Competence.” However, there continue to be concerns and issues about finding better ways to connect with and support the children and adolescents we work with. This training will inform participants on how Trauma-Informed practices, toxic stress, cultural dynamics, and maintaining our wellbeing can be a practical approach to cultural competence. The participant will learn what Cultural Intelligence is and how we can apply it to the work we do.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will develop an understanding of trauma-informed strategies and approaches that can improve their ability to connect and serve students with different backgrounds.
- Participants will develop an understanding of their experience and how to make personal adjustments and adaptability.
- Participants will discuss what institutional strategies should be promoted for lower burnout rates, compassion fatigue, and secondary traumatic stress.
- Participants will understand the importance of incorporating sustainability techniques to maintain a high level of engagement and maintain productivity.
