Facilitators: Deborah Hathway, University of Washington Bothell; emareena danielles, Me Out Loud LLC; Teresa Focarile, Boise State University
You are ready to facilitate your session: you’ve articulated clear outcomes, planned engaging activities, and left time for community building. Everything should go smoothly, but what happens when someone turns up the heat?
In this session, we will explore what to do when participants show up with a bottle of sauce and throw heat all over your plans! Using case studies, story-sharing, and discussion of trauma responsive practices, we will explore our shared repertoire, building trust in your ability to handle the unexpected. You’ll leave with more confidence in your ability to support yourself and your participants, no matter the spice level.
