We have a few key takeaways from a conversation that frankly, is difficult to only have a few key takeaways, but we're going to try. So think about how what you say might impact the future and make an encounter better for someone else down the road.
What happens when you bring together a former police officer turned yoga instructor and a seasoned school counselor? You get a raw, honest conversation that shatters biases and opens up new perspectives on trauma-informed care. In this episode of 'Essential Conversations', Eva Santiago and Bernadette Spooner Thompson dive deep into their experiences and insights on creating truly inclusive and supportive environments. Eva, now a community activist and nutritionist, works tirelessly for the Latinx community, Dreamers, and DACA recipients.
Bernadette, a licensed professional counselor, tackles tough conversations across racial lines in urban schools and shares her wisdom on the YouTube channel 'Woman to Woman: Conversations in Black and White'. Together, they remind us that trauma-informed practices alone aren't enough to foster diverse, equitable, and inclusive spaces. They share practical tips on how to recognize and address our own biases, build protective factors for self-care, and engage in restorative practices.
This episode is a treasure trove of actionable advice for anyone in the behavioral health and addiction fields. Whether you're looking to better support your students or improve your own self-care routine, Eva and Bernadette's conversation offers valuable insights and strategies that you won't want to miss.
