Notre équipe est en développement d’une adaptation en ligne de la formation sensible aux traumas donnés à BU l’automne dernier. La nouvelle formation sera intitulée: “Sensibilité aux traumas: construire ensemble la connexion et la résilience”. Ce travail vise à promouvoir les connaissances autour de l’adversité et ses conséquences, pour déstigmatiser les multiples façons que le trauma nous affecte tous.
