Hi everyone-
Just wanted to put the word out about an online continuing ed opportunity in Trauma Informed Care with adolescents offered through the Center for Adolescent Studies in Oakland. Enrollment is open until January 27. Info below. Sam Himelstein has worked extensively with incarcerated and trauma affected youth, particularly around mindfulness based practices and founded the Center for Adolescent Studies.

I've enrolled and would love to know if anyone else decides to take it!
