Description
While the pandemic and tensions resulting from racial inequity have turned countless adult lives upside down, it is imperative to consider the severe impact these national and global events have had on children. Covid-19 has drastically altered their world and social experience, and the existing struggles of inequity have become even more apparent. Today's educators and care-takers will be called on, perhaps as never before, to provide trauma-informed care to today's children.
Join Cathie Robertson in a discussion of these vital topics to learn how to best prepare one's self to meet children where they are and provide the support care that they vitally need.
