Healing during a pandemic

On March 13, 2020 everything changed, and we were thrown into a worldwide pandemic that eliminated in-person learning. The arrival of Covid-19 meant that we would be working from home and learning how to educate students virtually. The world was experiencing a trauma and we were all trying to figure out how to navigate our “new normal”. For some, adapting to the changes came easy but for others when the world “closed” the effects of Covid-19 were overwhelming.

The purpose of this breakout session is to discuss & define trauma, discuss how trauma affects our mind & body, and identify strategies we can use to heal ourselves and support others.
