Training for Humans
“The training was responsive to the needs of the group and avoided the one-size-fits-all approach. We came away from the training with a sense of connection that has stayed with us to this day.”
- 2023 Training Participant
Co-facilitated by Lived Experts and Humans, this highly personal 8-week program offers stories and examples from facilitators to ground learning in. Topics covered allow participants the opportunity to self-reflect on their own life experiences as well as learn more about common experiences shared by Lived Experts.
Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of themselves as well as practical strategies for connection, self-regulation and navigating the challenges of permanency journeys.
Topics Discussed Include:
Reflecting on hopes, dreams, expectations and success
Impacts of grief, loss and trauma on Humans and Lived Experts
Attachment cycles and styles
Practical strategies for building connections: trustworthiness, validation, appreciation and attunement
Unpacking power and privilege through a lens of intersectionality
