SUMMARY:Restorative Healing Community of Practice 3-part Series (Part 3)
DESCRIPTION:Dates: Thu. 2/19\, Thu. 3/5\, Thu. 4/9\nTime: 11AM-12PM Via Zoom (link sent after registration)\n\nThis three-session Community of Practice is a restorative\, healing-centered space created specifically for Community Health Workers who are navigating complex emotional\, systemic\, and community realities in their work. Grounded in restorative practices\, trauma-informed care\, and anti-oppressive frameworks\, this series invites CHWs to slow down\, reflect\, and collectively process the impacts of burnout\, secondary trauma\, and ongoing systemic pressures.Across three one-hour sessions\, participants will engage in grounding practices\, guided reflection\, and collective dialogue that honors lived experience\, cultural wisdom\, and the realities of serving communities they are often deeply connected to (including immigrant and refugee communities impacted by harmful policies and structural inequities). The series is designed to support sustainability\, resilience\, and collective healing while strengthening connection to self\, community\, and purpose. \nThis Community of Practice is not about fixing or problem-solving\, but about being witnessed\, resourced\, and supported in ways that affirm humanity\, dignity\, and belonging. \n\nRegister Here
