In the course, we will explore building environments that resist retraumatization and foster healing, well-being, and equity through policy, practice, and perspective change. Equity-centered, trauma-informed environments require us to understand how our experiences with identity, culture, community, and institutions shape our perspectives and norms. Ongoing self and team reflection in this area is foundational to understanding the diverse and multi-faceted ways that both trauma and healing show up in our own lives, in our organizations, on our teams, and for the families we serve.
