Showing Up: A Trauma Informed Care Podcast - Overview

Our series Showing Up is about trauma informed care practices for Expanded Learning Opportunities (ELO) programs. Episodes include: Impact of Positive Relationships, Intersectionality and Race, Supporting Queer Youth, Self-Regulation Strategies, and Sustainable Well-Being. In each episode, we hear from academic guests, young people, and ELO providers who are active in their communities. We wrap up each episode with a strategy spotlight, a time where we review one thing you can implement in your work. We hope each episode gives you new language and tools for working with young people.

Content warning: Showing Up features themes of trauma, mental health, and resilience, which may be triggering for some. Listen to your body's cues, take breaks and use self-regulation strategies. Don’t hesitate to ask for help, no issue is too big or too small. You can always reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255 for support.
