REGISTER NOW: Grief is the Medicine the SCRR Fall 2024 Network of Practice 🍂🍂🍂
📅November 14, 2024
⏰10:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. CT / 1:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. ET
This is a no-cost, virtual offering!
Join us for our annual Fall Network of Practice, a space for the SCRR community to connect, resource one another, peer support, and build our collective wisdom.
The 2024 Fall Network of Practice focuses on our experience of recovery - In our project’s framework, we use Judith Herman’s three pillars of recovery from Trauma and Recovery (1992) to inform our programming: 1) Safety & Stabilization; 2) Remembrance & Mourning; and 3) Reconnection & Integration.
In dialogue with ourselves and each other, we explore safety, remembrance and mourning, and integration so that our school crisis leadership is reflective, attuned, and grounded.
We as an SCRR network know the transformative power of witnessing each other. Come on November 14th, bring a colleague, a team member, or an entire department to feel less alone and more connected in this work.
Come for part, some, or all of our time together. Check out our full agenda, learn more and register at bit.ly/SCRR_Fall24NoP
