About the webinar

Level: Intermediate

A key principle of trauma-informed approaches is safety. Safety includes both physical and emotional or psychological safety. But how can housing and service providers promote both physical and emotional safety?

This course will explore how organizations can develop programs and services that help persons to be as “safe” as possible. Understanding that systems and programs in themselves may not feel “safe” participants will take a critical eye to their physical settings and how services are provided to understand where there is an opportunity to create brave space, promote safety and minimize re-traumatization.

In this webinar will help you to:

  • Be able to identify ways that their organization can foster brave space and promote “safety”

  • Develop an understanding of how trauma histories and identity influence an individual's feelings of safety

  • Develop an understanding of how systemic and institutional racism impacts how communities and individuals relate to services and programs and their feelings of safety

  • Have strategies to utilize that foster a sense of “safety” when working with individuals and families
