This 3-part workshop series is designed to create a safe and reflective space for faculty members to engage with their experiences both within and beyond the classroom. The series integrates principles from Somatic Experiencing, neurobiology, and trauma-informed pedagogy. Participants will develop practical skills to support themselves and their students, engage and facilitate challenging conversations, and cultivate a classroom environment that fosters overall well-being. Additionally, the series emphasizes community building through providing a platform for faculty to share and collectively process their experiences. While we encourage participation in the full series, faculty are invited to attend any of the workshops.<\/p>\n
The titles and dates of each workshop are listed below. All workshops will be held from 12-2 pm on Zoom.<\/p>\n
