Laura van Dernoot Lipsky presenting at an in-person event.

Laura van Dernoot Lipsky will present a free virtual 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, or the unfolding of the climate crisis, 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.

This training is perfect for educators, social workers, professionals working with parents/caregivers and children. Join us through the button below!

This training is offered in partnership with the Home Visiting Innovation Team and through funding from Lane County and United Way of Lane County.
