Last month, our staff kicked off the Spaces for Thriving project with Kasey Thompson of Incite Learning! ??? We're diving into neuroscience and body-based (somatic) approaches to help counter the effects of trauma and toxic stress on developing brains and nervous systems. Over the next year, we'll be exploring how youth development organizations can foster safe spaces where young people and educators can bring their whole selves, build skills, and dream big. ???? Our staff and youth leaders will continue learning and shaping healing-centered training resources that provide practical tools for resilience and growth. Stay tuned for more updates on this journey! ??
