Establishing trusting relationships is key to becoming a trauma-informed practitioner- and boundaries and transparency are key ingredients for building trust. Trust is earned and takes work, time and intention. This course will explore strategies to help housing and service providers identify and set boundaries, coach the people they work with in setting their own boundaries, investigate opportunities for increased transparency, and develop trust and rapport with clients/tenants. Building on the concepts learned in the “Safe spaces and Places” course, this course will dive deeper by exploring scenarios and strategies for establishing trusting relationships.

Cultural Humility: Centering Racial Equity and Anti-Oppressive Practices

The experience of trauma is unique and diverse and no two people will be impacted in the same way. Just as the experience of trauma is diverse so too are the people who have trauma histories. A person’s identity, experiences, and the way they move through the world are impacted by oppressive systems and racism. Acknowledging that the experience of racism is a traumatic experience, this course centers on the experience of black, indigenous, and persons of color (BiPOC) and how through anti-racist and anti-oppressive trauma-informed approaches, housing and service providers can begin to disrupt oppressive practices.
