In this presentation we will discuss the neurobiological impacts of trauma on the brain and how ACEs, racialized, generational and historical trauma, and environment change the ways in which our bodies perceive safety.  Dysregulation of the nervous system, trauma and violence in today’s world is compounding and constant especially for our BIPOC community. This session will discuss how we can create healing centered restorative programs and classrooms that create space for the lived realities of ALL students- especially those marginalized by race, sex/gender, sexuality, ability, citizenship, and socioeconomic status. We will discuss restorative tools and practices to create a healing and safe program culture in pandemic times.
