Join Dr. Christine Norton and Experiential Consulting for a four-week series on inclusive, trauma-informed risk management. Together, we will explore the connection of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion work and your organization’s risk management plan - and how they could be working at cross-purposes. We will also explore how trauma can show up in outdoor programs, and how we can instruct, design, and debrief programs in a trauma-informed way. This series includes three live sessions on Zoom, as well as one week for homework and self-reflection. Join us on this journey towards more inclusive, trauma-informed outdoor programming for all.
