Description
In this training, attendees will be introduced to the history of harm reduction and learn how its principles are based in racial, gender, and social justice. This workshop will cover how to engage in trauma-informed care and help attendees build awareness of the prevalence of trauma, understand how trauma (including intergenerational/historical and secondary trauma) presents, and obtain skills needed to address trauma in their work. Attendees will also learn how to embody the principles of social justice in their work to help build more socially just systems of care to create compassionate and advocacy-oriented spaces for ourselves and our clients and improve care for historically underserved communities.
