I'm happy to announce that I will be running Trauma-Informed Care: An Introduction for Libraries through UW-Madison iSchool again this Spring.
Like my past, well-reviewed courses, this course is designed to have an extremely reasonable workload and will be a mix of reflection, action, and tips you can use right away. The class is asynchronous, which means we won't be meeting live and you can engage with each week's content when you can. Each week there will be one or two discussion questions. There will be final project that will consist of anything that will help you going forward (a presentation to your board, a letter to your director, a blue print, something else? It's up to you!).
As always with my courses, you're welcome to download all the material to share among others in your library, so I hope you will see this as a good investment. Trauma-Informed Care: An Introduction for Libraries is steeped in my lived experience and so may be different from other training you may have gotten about these concepts.
This course about Trauma-Informed Care has been developed with trauma-informed care in mind in its structure.
NOTE: This course has been well-reviewed by students who have lived experience in trauma. While I do have some tips that work for me peppered in the content, this course is not a therapy support group and I am not a medical professional. This course can give you some insight into what might be going on with your brain/central nervous system right now, but it is not a cure for your stress. I say this not to be mean but to manage expectations. If you are looking for more things like mindfulness practices, I'd like to suggest you look into activities related to dialectical behavioral therapy. It covers mindfulness as well as interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation.
