Traumatic events are commonplace today and impact library workers as much as their users. In this webinar, we will explore what being trauma-informed asks of library workers, what challenges it brings, and how we can begin to address those challenges by reframing them as opportunities to become stronger library workers.

You'll gain an enhanced understanding of how being trauma-informed works in public library spaces for employees. By diving into real examples and sharing your concerns, we will collaborate to bring more clarity and support to growing new challenges about confronting trauma in the library workplace.
