Laura van Dernoot Lipsky will present a training and discussion to offer practical tools to help us sustain, individually and collectively, in the face of trauma, secondary trauma and overwhelm.

Whether this is related to our work, our personal lives, the pandemic, systematic oppression and structural supremacy surfacing in exceedingly painful ways, we will discuss what the consequences are as well as strategies for sustaining ourselves and each other. This will be interactive so please come with questions or topics you’d like to cover.

It’s very helpful for Laura if everyone can have their cameras on. If you’re able to do so, she would appreciate it.

Who should attend

Lane County home visitors and professionals working with parents/caregivers and children.
