Trauma-Informed Practices Workshop

The Architecture Foundation of Oregon (AFO) centers education and access for youth at the heart of our programming. We are excited to offer opportunities for design professionals, educators, youth organizers, and more to receive training on trauma-informed practices and social/emotional learning.

AFO believes that all adults working with youth have a responsibility to not create harm, to give youth space to express their true selves, to look to them as experts, and to center them in our teaching and learning. AFO understands that these are skills that require ongoing learning and will help us be more empathetic and effective teachers, mentors and leaders.

Please join us for a trauma-informed practices and social/emotional learning workshop. Facilitated by Dr. Renee Mitchell, an educator, writer, poet and expert on these topics, the workshops are intended to help prepare you and make you more comfortable working with youth from different backgrounds. All are welcome.

PLEASE NOTE: All current AFO volunteers, board members, committee members, and 2024-2025 Architects in Schools and Formation Mentorship participants have free access to this workshop. Please contact candice@af-oregon.org if you are a current volunteer and have not received the Zoom link.
