Registrants are encouraged to submit questions in advance and ask them live. Even if registrants are unable to make the Q&A date and time, they will still be able to see the Q&A’s recording. Upon completion of the pre-recorded lessons as well as their complimentary Q&A, registrants then meet the prerequisite of attending any future Q&A for a small fee ($30 CDN) should they wish to further engage with Kim & the team or have new questions on this topic.

    • Course Content

    Participants will have repeated access via live streaming for 365 days from the date they register (or upon release of the course materials). Additionally, there will be a live, online and interactive Q&A for 60 minutes held on January 12, 2026 at 4:00 pm Pacific Time.

    This 8 hour pre-recorded and edited workshop sheds light on the profound impact of trauma on students’ development, relationships, motivation and learning. It delves into actionable strategies educators can use to support all students, including themselves, in navigating challenging circumstances. Trauma-Sensitive Education is the information that experienced educators wish had been included in their teacher training, to help with their burn out and to reach kids who seem unreachable. 

  • Recordings will be accessible to each participant for 365 days
  • Each participant will be able to join one live online Q&A, and the next one will be on January 12, 2026 at 4:00 pm Pacific Time
  • The recording of the Q&A will also be accessible for 365 days
