The ROAR Response to Racial Trauma provides a reflective framework for teachers, educational staff and other professionals to provide an authentic trauma-sensitive environment that considers the impact of Racial Trauma and its cultural intersectionality.
Raising awareness and understanding of racial trauma in terms of live trauma, vicarious, historical, and community trauma. Using methods of experiential learning, individual, relational, and systematic reflection, the course helps professionals work towards a resilient classroom that is racially just and, therefore, on the pathway to being trauma-informed, with the acknowledgement that this is an ongoing, ever-changing journey.
The course is a one-day face-to-face. Due to the nature of the course, Zoom is not advised.
