About the event
This Thursday’s HHA Partner Meeting includes a live Guest Speaker | Trainer, Darcey Kesner Hawkins.
Trauma-Informed Refresher: Recognizing and Responding with Compassion
This practical refresher prepares facilitators and support team members to recognize common signs of emotional or nervous system activation during The Rhythm of Our Hearts. Participants will learn how to respond with compassion, maintain appropriate boundaries, and connect individuals with additional support when needed. This training focuses on awareness, comfort, and communication—not intervention or therapy.
You’ll also have the opportunity to step into the next layer of your growth—collaborating with the Board in the planning of upcoming Pop-Up Wellness Hubs and immersive community events, where these skills are actively applied.
