Seminar Description

In this interactive session, participants will learn the basics of trauma-informed care (TIC) and explore the concept of bandwidth. Drawing on the work of the Attachment & Trauma Network and Cia Verschelden's book Bandwidth Recovery, we will share how to apply concepts from TIC and bandwidth recovery in your day-to-day work at the College, regardless of role. Rooted in purpose and roaring with possibility for a safer, stronger CCP, these strategies aim to increase a sense of belonging and purpose for the entire College community.
