International Synergy and Dialogos   ISPA Networking Series Initiative   WEBINAR Social Justice and Trauma Informed Work during a Pandemic Saturday, December 11th, 2021 11.00 AM - 12.30 EST (6.00 PM - 7.30 PM Athens, Greece time)   Presenters: Prof. Kris Varjas, Carrie Lorig, Ph.D Candidate and Aleksandra Krupina, Ph,D Candidate, Center for School Safety, School Climate and Classroom Management, Georgia State University Ηost: Dr. Sissy Hatzichristou, ISPA President ABSTRACT Trauma-informed care (TIC) is a strengths-based framework that aims to recognize and respond to the impacts of traumatic stress. This work emphasizes the physical, psychological, and emotional safety of students, teachers, caregivers and other educational professionals by infusing trauma awareness, knowledge, and skills into a school's organizational culture, policies, and practices. Addressing and preventing trauma in youth populations encourages recognition of the particular and disproportionate ways trauma affects marginalized groups, especially in schools. We view trauma-informed work as a crucial partner in social justice. Social justice is defined as the elimination of systemic oppression and institutional barriers with the goal of ensuring equitable access to opportunities and resources for all. We will consider the intersections of trauma-informed work and the aims of social justice so schools might recognize trauma as both individual and systemic and make their trauma-informed frameworks inclusive of diverse experiences. We will address how to support students, teachers, school psychologists and professional development providers in mediating potential traumatic impact of the pandemic. We also will discuss ways in which a continued commitment to trauma-informed work is beneficial for schools and their partners for service delivery post-pandemic.   Please join us in this webinar by completing the following preregistration form till December 9th: https://form-eu.123formbuilder.com/49684/form The webinar will be free and certificates of attendance will be sent to participants.
