This is the second part of a two-part webinar series on community based training for working with newcomers with trauma. The first webinar explored how practitioners in settlement can better understand trauma, and how it presents itself in community spaces. The webinar also provided some techniques that practitioners can use to address the issues of trauma, along with approaches to provide a more inclusive space for newcomers with trauma.

This follow-up webinar will address how we can further support our more vulnerable newcomers to Canada through learning with healing centered engagement. This learning event will explore how those with migration journey experiences can move beyond merely coping with trauma, and explore their own resiliency and positive transformative changes that can occur beyond trauma, allowing positive emotional growth and a greater sense of well-being.
