Trauma Recovery: Community Evidenced Practices

About

For the fifth year in row, SCG is proudly partnering with Echo for a funders-only lunch discussion as part of Echo’s 2019 conference theme is ‘Trauma Recovery: Community Evidenced Practices’. Attendees will learn about variety of new and traditional forms of healing that are body-based. Some of these practices draw on centuries of cultural wisdom (such as yoga, gardening, and dance) and some are exciting new frontiers in trauma recovery (such as EMDR, neurofeedback and EFT).

Join the funders’ lunch to explore these promising alternatives to pharmaceuticals and talk therapy. In discussion with leading experts in their field, learn how philanthropy can support the proliferation and availability of these resilience-building practices, as well as champion culturally appropriate approaches to trauma recovery within underserved populations.

The speakers are former Viejas Tribal Chairman Dr. Anthony Pico who will share current research into First Nation healing modalities, and Ana M Gómez, a psychotherapist, author, and a lecturer known internationally for her innovative work with children and adolescents with complex trauma, attachment wounds and dissociation, and for blazing the trail for EMDR in Latin America.

We hope you can join us for this vital and timely conversation.
