Given that the talk was scheduled for a Friday night on a holiday weekend – the Peruvian government decided that Monday and Tuesday next week are “holidays” and all those in the formal sector of employement have the days off – I did not hold-out a lot of hope that there would be more than a handful of people in attendance. I was partly right – there were about 25 people in attendance; and, everyone of the attendees was extremely interested in the subject.
Today is our day long conference on Trauma Informed Care at La Salle University. We are expected a group of some 60 service providers from accross the homeless and abandon youth fields. Our goal is to help them “scale” trauma-informed services to their agencies and across programs in the Arequipa area. Robina Bhasin, adult education specialist from the Center for Social Innovation, has graciously donated her time and talents to help develop a model for scaling new knowledge acqusition with the group in attendance at the conference.
Stay tuned for more updates on the conference and our work in scaling a trauma-informed effort in Arequipa.
