CARRE frequently releases opportunities such as webinars and Expressions of Interest (EOI) to support agencies in accessing culturally responsive, trauma-informed and evidence-based interventions, services, information and collaborative networks to better respond to traumatic stress of forcibly displaced families, and elevate community perspectives.
This includes, but is not limited, to the following potential opportunities:
- Joining CARRE’s Community Advisory Board
- Pilot mental health and psychosocial support interventions
3 Part Training Series: Managing Uncertain Times (Thursday April 3rd and 17th, Thursday May 1st, 9 am PST/12 pm EST)
CARRE is pleased to present an online training series focusing on Managing Uncertain Times. The series is focused on all professionals working with forcibly displaced populations. The sessions are 75 minutes and will not be recorded. For more information and to register, please use the links BELOW! If you have any questions, please email [email protected] We look forward to seeing you there!
- PART 1 Self and Collective Care (Thursday April 3rd, 9 am PST/12 pm EST); Professionals working with forcibly displaced populations are facing great uncertainty with rapid closure of programs and widespread layoffs. The remaining staff are often having to do more with less while also navigating increased distress among clients. Taking care of oneself and each other deserves focused attention
- PART 2 Client Care in Times of Uncertainty (Thursday April 17th, 9am PST/12 pm EST); Forcibly displaced clients in the US are experiencing greater stress and distress due to rising anti-immigrant sentiment and fears of greater immigration enforcement action. Working with clients who are experiencing pervasive uncertainty requires increased skill and intention
- PART 3 Learning from Communities who have Experienced Forced Displacement (Thursday May 1st, 9 am PST/12 pm EST); People who have experienced forced displacement have experienced tremendous uncertainty before coming to the US, on their journey and after arrival. For those working alongside these populations, it is critical to hear directly from communities themselves about managing uncertainty and cultivating resilience and strength. We are honored to be joined by our partners at the IRC, Jewish Family Services of Western New York, Church World Service, and Refugee Women’s Alliance. Our panelists include:
- Bijoux Bahati, MSW, Manager, TST-R, JFSWNY
- Bohdana Shulha, Case Manager, CWS
- Mimi Naeemi, MA, LMHCA, Clinician & Clinical Training Facility Specialist, ReWA
Self & Collective Attuning: Tending to Emotional Activation in these Acute Times
December 12, 2023, 2-4pm ET
What is this collaborative session about?
Join us for a special collaborative session held jointly by the School Crisis Recovery and Renewal project and CARRE (two National Child Traumatic Stress Network Category II sites) to create space for service providers (based in schools or community) who want to engage in the practice of attuning and attending to our emotional landscape as we witness institutionally sanctioned and unprecedented death and violence. Further event details can be found here. This event will not be recorded.
Why should you attend?
- Understand normative fears during trauma with specific attention to children with lived experience of forced displacement and witnessing oppression and ongoing violence.
- Create a brave, generative, and regulating space for educators to explore the interconnection between lived experience and their current ability to uphold trauma informed engagement.
- Engage in community valued, trauma informed regulation strategies that positively impact the process of recovery and renewal.
- Imagine new ways of incorporating recovery and renewal activities into therapeutic intervention, classrooms and curriculum, peer and student interactions, meeting structures and personal lives.
- Identify individual and collective protective factors, community assets and stressors, significant loss, trauma and opportunities for growth.
- Build community capacity and peer support to respond to mental health needs in forcibly displaced communities.
Who should attend?
- Specifically for: school mental health and or community based mental health providers who work in/with schools or in/with communities.
- Open to: Anyone who tends to the wellbeing of young people in school settings (educators, school leaders, case managers, mentors, therapists, restorative justice coordinators, retention coordinators, advisors, deans, school leaders, educators, community service providers, guidance counselors, social workers, etc.)
