Holding Space with Care: Trauma-Informed Facilitation for Community Heritage Projects
This two‑hour online session introduces trauma‑informed practice with a particular focus on working with groups where emotional responses may arise. It offers practical, non‑clinical tools to help facilitators feel more confident, prepared, and appropriately boundaried. Participants will build awareness of how pervasive trauma is and how its effects can surface unexpectedly in a variety of forms within group settings, explore boundaries as a form of care, and develop transferable skills for hosting spaces that are welcoming, ethical, and emotionally sustainable.
