“YOU CAN’T BE TRAUMA-INFORMED WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT RACE, RACISM, AND PRIVILEGE”-cctassifilms.org 💜The JADE film series, complemented by an 18-minute short film and three 5-minute featurettes are about lifting up the voices and experiences of People of Color, by focusing on their encounters with systemic and racial trauma. 💜Jade serves as a medium for examining the critical intersections among trauma, race, and ethnicity. Additionally, the film emphasizes how institutional racism contributes to the ongoing cycles of trauma. 💜These films aren’t just powerful stories – they’re made to connect with the people working in schools, the justice system, and child welfare. We hope they inspire meaningful discussions and fresh perspectives. 💜 The goal? To create momentum and positive shifts in policies and practices. Together, we can make a difference.

Keep your relationships with youth positive and remember that your relationships are more important than youths’ compliance with your demands. Avoid getting into power struggles by asking yourself, “Do I really need this person to do what I say right now?” If there is not an immediate safety issue, take a deep breath and step back. Sometimes youth just need a moment to figure out what they want or need in order to move forward. As I wrap up the final edits on Spark Decks' new Supporting Youth with Disabilities deck, I am reminded how so much of what works for youth with disabilities, works for everyone. Curious to learn more? Join our Sparking Positive Behavior Guidance series this fall: https://lnkd.in/g5ez5k_H And, make sure you're on the Spark Decks mailing list to be the first to hear about the release of the new deck!
