The COVID-19 pandemic has created a unique experience in which both clients and professionals share the same traumatic reality of the pandemic. What does it mean for professionals working under these circumstances, navigating relationships both virtually and then in person, trying to build relationships with children and families in a time of crisis? What do we know about from other experiences of shared traumatic realities and what can it teach us?

Please encourage everyone on your team who facilitates in any way to register for this exclusive training opportunity.

Trainer: Jessica Lawmaster, MSW

Jessica’s career began with stories. As a forensic interviewer early in her career in Oklahoma, she was on the receiving end of more than 700 accounts of abuse straight from the mouths of child victims. It was listening to these powerful stories that compelled her to study trauma through a broader lens. In 2008, Jessica packed up her belongings (and her dog) and moved to Alaska. She was hired to develop three new Children’s Advocacy Centers in the Kenai Peninsula region of Alaska. Developing child abuse response systems under the umbrella of Haven House, a domestic violence and sexual assault organization, provided Jessica with an optimal environment for continuing to connect the dots of the intersections of different types of challenges experienced by individuals, families, and communities.

In 2012, Jessica was hired as the Executive Director of Haven House and continued to work on local, statewide, and national initiatives focused on trauma and resilience. In 2015, Jessica was hired as Executive Director to lead a Seattle early parent support organization (PEPS).  There she guided a 35-year old Seattle institution through cultural transformation and strategic shifts to prioritize equity, inclusion and advocacy. In 2019, Jessica and her family decided it was time to make their way back “home.” They settled in Tulsa, OK, where Jessica launched Kindred Consulting and continues to provide support that helps leaders take their impact to the next level.

Jessica is passionate about community and is driven by the vision of a more equitable life for all. She believes that a community’s voice will drive relevant, innovative, and powerful solutions if we listen. It’s on us (organizations and leaders) to create the space to listen, reflect, and act.

As professionals working in agencies that focus on treating young, traumatized children, we talk about trauma to EVERYONE – to our staff, to the parents who bring their kids in for services, and to the children themselves. This talk will focus upon critical elements of such talk with each of these populations – as well as the pros and cons of becoming a “trauma magnet” when you are known as someone who encourages such conversations.
