One of the big challenges I’m encountering this year is looking for these signals of trauma in the absence of visual information (remote teaching, cameras off - which totally makes sense if students are experiencing anxiety).

A lot of these are also the basics of how to create a good working environment and employees who feel safe

Today’s discussions have gotten me thinking about when we go back to ‘normal’ and anxiety that may come from that. Thinking from the context of being encouraged to ‘take care of ourselves’ and perhaps losing that encouragement to be mindful of of how stress is impacting you.

Thanks @Beth & @Megan

Lots of great resources today! :)

I have my peer educators do zoom scavenger hunts

Great for getting people up and out of their chairs! I have definitely borrowed things I’ve seen my kids’ elementary school teachers do. :)

Thank you!

Thanks Jodi! Off to another meeting.

Thank you.
