Trauma Informed Library Services- Youth Services (Online)

Repeated exposure to trauma in one’s lifetime can make it difficult to control emotions which in turn can make important social interactions – such as seeking help from a library – more difficult. Library staff who view interactions through a trauma-informed lens can better understand and navigate these encounters. This session will focus on youth patrons and how librarians and library staff can best work with a trauma-informed focus to improve patron interactions and de-escalate potentially volatile situations.


Cost: $15.00 per participant

Trauma Informed Library Services- Adult Services (Online)

Repeated exposure to trauma in one’s lifetime can make it difficult to control emotions which in turn can make important social interactions – such as seeking help from a library – more difficult. Library staff who view interactions through a trauma-informed lens can better understand and navigate these encounters. This session will introduce participants to the concept of a trauma-informed approach, along with some strategies to better work with library users and colleagues. Additionally, library staff will learn to recognize secondary trauma, or compassion fatigue, in themselves in order to better cope and mitigate the effects.
