Why take this course: Explore trauma-informed librarianship and create psychologically and emotionally safer and more inclusive spaces for patrons, students, and staff. Recent years have seen trauma affecting people in multiple and complex ways, including how they engage with libraries. As such, trauma-informed librarianship is crucial for librarians in today’s diverse and ever-changing communities. In this 3-week online course starting April 11, you'll develop a deep understanding of trauma-informed practices and how to apply them for patrons, staff, students, colleagues and yourself. 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. |
