Compassionate Accountability:
Creating a Nurturing Shelter Environment
Friday, August 10, 2018 Bowling Green
From chores to curfew to parenting practices, certain challenges continually emerge in shelter settings, regardless of rules. This workshop focuses on creating a nurturing, trauma-informed shelter environment through the use of compassion and empathy. Designed for direct care staff, the training examines common challenges of communal living and presents a model of survivor-centered advocacy that emphasizes mutual accountability. Participants will practice trauma-informed skills that support dignity and respect and share empowering strategies for resolving conflicts
