Trauma-Informed and Relational Care Course

  • 1.  Trauma-Informed and Relational Care Course

    Posted Mar 12, 2024 12:20 PM
    Hello, hello!

    I have been working really hard the past two months to create something I believe will be beyond beneficial for libraries. I may not be working as a librarian anymore but I still LOVE to share all the info

    You may or may not know that I've been providing workshops for libraries over the past few years about what it means to have a trauma-informed approach in libraries.

    What I've noticed is that this is heavy information, and people really want to process at their own speed, especially with other colleagues in the room. This is why I created a self-paced course called Trauma-Informed and Relational Care for Libraries! And I'm holding information sessions for it in April!

    Not only can this be completed at your own pace, but it offers deeper support and reflection because there is more foundational content and more reflection to help you truly learn and embody the material. AND I'll be providing live support for it until the end of the year.

    With all that being said, invite you to some information sessions I'm holding for the course at the end of April - one is for BIPOC and one is open to all. I'm sharing this early so you can mark your calendars

    ALSO, if your library is interested in purchasing this because they value wellness and care, please let me know! I've already provided it to one institution, and I'm hoping to equip more libraries with it instead of people having to buy it individually with their own funds.

    Here is a link to register for the information session: https://bit.ly/tirclinfosessions

    And here is the landing page with more details about the course.

    THANK YOU! This has truly been a labor of love, and I'm so excited to share this resource with libraries.

    Warmly,
    Nisha Mody
