Course Description: Join us on Tuesday, March 16, from 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm, and hear from Dr. Vilma Reyes as we explore ways to apply trauma informed, relationship-based interventions, and tap into resilience to promote healing and relational repair in families.

Dr. Reyes will present real tools to help families recover from trauma, forced family separation, institutional racism, and toxic fear in support of the well being of young children and their families.
