Session Two: Cultural Humility and Responsiveness

Trauma-Informed Learning for Early Childhood Educators Series

May 14, 2020

This session focused on the need for understanding and integrating the practices of cultural humility into a trauma-based model. Participants learned about; the three parts of practicing cultural humility, the successful application of this model in early childhood work, and the importance of cultural humility when working from a trauma-informed approach. A focus was given to supporting participants to develop strategies that address inequities in their systems while raising equity. Finally, participants were given information on how to identify and respond to microaggressions as a bystander with privilege, and/or as adults protecting children.
