SUMMARY:Navigating Scarcity Together - VIRTUAL Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Scarcity shapes how people think\, decide\, and relate to one another\, but it is often misunderstood. This training builds a shared understanding of the physiological\, psychological\, and social impacts of scarcity\, creating a foundation for more effective and compassionate responses. From that shared understanding\, participants explore how we can design approaches that better support agency\, dignity\, and community leadership. \nParticipants will: \n– Explore the physiological\, psychological\, and social impacts of scarcity and how they show up in daily life. \n– Understand how scarcity shapes behavior and decision-making\, including tunneling\, reduced bandwidth\, and borrowing. \n– Recognize common behaviors under scarcity\, and how these can impact relationships and systems. \n– Build a shared language and lens for understanding scarcity across teams and communities. \n– Reflect on their own experiences of scarcity and how it has shaped their thinking and actions. \n– Begin identifying opportunities to respond differently\, using this shared understanding as a foundation for future practice and prototyping. \nRegister here. \nIn-Person workshop available on November 11 at Metro Caring South Building (1726 N. Downing St Denver\, CO 20818). Registration link.

SUMMARY:Trauma Informed Spaces and Systems - VIRTUAL Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Many of us carry experiences of trauma\, stress\, and survival into the places where we live\, work\, and connect. Trauma-Informed Spaces & Systems explores how physical environments and administrative systems can create additional burdens and how a solidarity approach can help us redesign those conditions to support dignity\, agency\, belonging\, and participation. During this training\, participants will: \n\nExplore how trauma can shape the brain\, body\, behavior\, and participation\nRecognize the learning\, compliance\, and psychological costs of administrative burden\nExamine how spaces\, policies\, processes\, and technology can consume bandwidth or give some of it back\nUse solidarity and lived expertise to identify barriers and opportunities for change\nPractice redesigning spaces and systems to reduce harm\, share burden\, and preserve agency\n\nRegister here.
