When:  Feb 17, 2026 from 06:30 PM to 08:00 PM (CT)

Description: This educational professional development session bridges scholarship and practice by translating research on historical and intergenerational trauma into practical, trauma-responsive strategies for counselor education, supervision, and clinical work. Drawing from Dr. Cicelia M.

The session emphasizes healing-centered, culturally responsive, and socially just practices that support both counselors and the communities they serve.
