  • During the training participants learn about Cultivating Safe Spaces (CSS) and I go over the CSS framework, also the colonial vs decolonial framework, and trauma diagram. The breakout groups give opportunity for participants to discuss what they learn and brainstorm how they apply it to their lives and work they do. 

    CSS Training Journal, various resources and worksheets are included.

    Certificates of participation are provided to participants once completed.
