Race-based traumatic stress can deeply affect the development, behavior, and well-being of youth in the child welfare system. This training will help CASA volunteers better support BIPOC youth through a culturally responsive, brain-based understanding of trauma. 

The session will deepen understanding of race-based traumatic stress and its impacts, while offering strategies to promote regulation, resilience, and connection. It will also highlight culturally responsive and anti-racist approaches that support youth in reclaiming safety, identity, and voice. 

Presented by Crystal Bennett, educator, advocate, and trauma-informed practitioner, this webinar centers the strengths and lived experiences of BIPOC youth while offering actionable tools for meaningful support.
