It was good getting the band back together.
🖤 7 or so years ago, Leondra Garrett, Jen Neitzel and I combined forces to help schools, organizations, nonprofits, and houses of worship take a trauma informed approach look at creating more equitable and inclusive policies and practices.
🖤 5 years ago, after getting a contract with the state of NC, we attempted our first virtual session, using a product—I won’t name—we never used again, as we were locked out of our own session.
🖤 5 years and dozens of trainings around the country later, we reconnected virtually with a hospital system in California that’s innovatively approaching the work, incorporating staff and patients with plans to scale and act on their learnings.
🖤 Contrary to the mythology, this necessary work can and still gets done when organizations are committed to their missions.
🖤 Our session was productive and heartwarming, reminding us that for the many potential harms of technology, with the right partners, a lot of good can come as well.
