Promoting Resilience: Emotional Safety Plans 

Emotional Safety Plans are personalized guides that help someone navigate moments of emotional distress, anxiety, or overwhelm. They act like a “mental first-aid kit,” offering clear steps, reminders, and resources to restore a sense of calm and control. The Center for Trauma-Resilient Communities will lead a session where you can build a plan for yourself and your organization to use. 

Lunch Session - 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

Afternoon Session - 1:45 pm - 2:30 pm (with snacks)
