  3. Trauma-Informed Practices What is it? A paradigm shift to understand the impact of trauma on child development and to learn how to effectively minimize its effects without causing additional trauma. J. Dorado (2015) UCSF HEARTS

  4. Trauma-Informed Practices How does it affect your work? • With repeated exposure to trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), youth can develop neural pathways that activate the “survival” part of the brain, even during times when stressors is not present. • Examples: “He started screaming out of nowhere!” • Effects of Vicarious Trauma: “The teacher just started yelling at them.” Learning/ Thinking Brain (Prefrontal Cortex) Common Triggers Survival/Emotion Brain (Limbic System) J. Dorado (2015) UCSF HEARTS

  5. Trauma-Informed Practices How does it affect your work? • With repeated exposure to trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), youth can develop neural pathways that activate the “survival” part of the brain, even during times when stressors is not present. • Examples: “He started screaming out of nowhere!” • Effects of Vicarious Trauma: “The teacher just started yelling at them.” Learning/ Thinking Brain (Prefrontal Cortex) Common Triggers Survival/Emotion Brain (Limbic System) J.

  7. Trauma-Informed Practices What can we do about it? • Understand trauma and stress • Practice cultural humility and responsiveness • Establish safety and stability • Foster compassionate, dependable relationships • Build skills in managing emotions and thinking clearly (Ford et al., 2006) • Facilitate voice and choice • Promote resilience and build on strengths J. Dorado (2015) UCSF HEARTS J. Dorado (2015) UCSF HEARTS

  8. Implicit Bias: What is it? Underlying subtle processes that usually operate at a level below conscious awareness and affect our interaction with others.

  9. Cultural Competency: What is it? • Cultural competence is having an awareness of one’s own cultural identity and views about difference, and the ability to learn and build on the varying cultural and community norms of students and their families. It is the ability to understand the within-group differences that make each student unique, while celebrating the between-group variations that make our country a tapestry. - NEA

  10. How do Implicit Bias and Cultural Competency affect our work? Our unconscious thoughts lead to actions that affect interactions with: Students Coworkers Families How does your implicit bias or cultural competency affect your desire to engage with families? How does your implicit bias about who should be a leader affect your youth development practices? How do your cultural norms affect how you deal with conflict with coworkers? What do we assume about the intentions of others based on our implicit bias? How do we respond to others based on our own cultural norms?

  11. What can we do about it?
