Registration is open for the upcoming webinar “Approaches to Trauma-Informed Medical Librarianship”. It will take place on Thursday, March 13, from 12:00 to 1:30 PM CDT. The sponsor is the Medical Library Group of Southern California & Arizona (MLGSCA), which is a chapter of the Medical Library Association.
Abuse, neglect, and other traumatic life events are commonplace today. In this webinar, you’ll learn what being trauma-informed can do for you in the workplace and how a trauma-informed approach can help you serve patrons more sensitively and effectively.
You’ll gain an understanding of trauma, trauma-informed librarianship, and of the importance of trauma-informed health sciences librarianship. Through interactive activities, you’ll explore trauma-informed strategies and begin to develop your own trauma-informed way of working with patrons and colleagues.
The presenter is Lorin Jackson, MA, MI (she/they), who serves as the Assistant Director of the Holman Biotech Commons at the University of Pennsylvania and as an Adjunct Professor at Syracuse University’s iSchool.
