Purpose: The Cultural Revitalization Initiative seeks to encourage all sectors to create the opportunity for “belonging” through continued education and the transformation of policy and procedure that results in “othering.” The Initiative hopes to shift cultural norms by creating opportunities to share a variety of cultural practices, foods, rituals, ceremony, arts, various codes of ethics and traditional values. We hope to reconnect BIPOC to their sacred traditions and cultivate respect, safety and equity for all people.

7th Annual Trauma Sensitive Schools Symposium
2023-06-06 08:00 - 15:00 | Virtual
The theme for this year’s Trauma Sensitive Schools Symposium is “Resilience is Resistance”. We will host a range of engaging sessions that will expand participants’ knowledge of trauma-sensitive school systems and education approaches – particularly focusing on the power of resilience, and the many definitions the word holds, in our current educational systems and communities at large.
It is our pleasure to announce this year’s keynote speaker for the 2023 Virtual Trauma Sensitive Schools Symposium is Tamar Mendelson, Ph.D.!

Dr. Tamar Mendelson is a Bloomberg Professor of American Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. She is Director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Adolescent Health and Chair of the Adolescent Health steering committee of the Bloomberg American Health Initiative. She is also trained as a clinical psychologist – we are very grateful to have her as our keynote for this year’s symposium!

Registration is now OPEN!!! You can register by using the QR code below or at: https://whova.com/portal/registration/tsss_202306/
