In our three-week Trauma-Informed Librarianship course starting April 11, you'll learn how to engage with and support patrons impacted by trauma, while also taking care of yourself and setting healthy boundaries.
Who should attend: This course is geared toward public-facing librarians and staff; however, all levels of librarians, including managers and directors, will benefit from learning how to create trauma-informed library cultures.

Also in April: How to Apply Restorative Justice in Your Library
April 30 & May 14, 2024
Restorative practices are proactive practices that help create a culture of relationships and accountability before any harm is committed. Restorative justice is an approach to addressing harm and conflict that focuses on healing, repairing relationships, and promoting accountability. Rather than being punitive, restorative justice seeks to involve the community in the resolution process and can provide a model for transparent dialogue and healing between everyone involved in an incident.
Learn about peace circles, how to initiate communication about an incident, and how to facilitate ongoing relationship repair and accountability from those who have caused harm.
This course is for librarians of all levels who have a new or emerging understanding of restorative justice practices.
