This workshop will utilize interactive polls and discussions of recent research findings to increase awareness of the biases the public, including educators, have about children who are coping with adversity. The presenters, an early childhood education administrator/teacher, and a social justice researcher will share strengths-based strategies and a variety of resources for mitigating the impact of childhood adversity, including highlights of the children’s books they have written, a virtual professional development course co-developed by Peace4Kids (a community-based organization) and an intervention approach created by Peace4Kids. Additionally, presenters will utilize their children’s book focused on coping with grief and loss to provide resources for parents, educators, and ECE professionals. This tool has been successful in supporting children who have experienced trauma firsthand and adjusting to their next normal.
