Crisis & Trauma Response
Toolkit for Cultural
Workers

INTRODUCTION

 

Designed for cultural workers, this toolkit provides information about what trauma is, what impacts it can have in settings involving cultural organizations, and how these organizations can respond.

 

Each chapter includes an educational video and a brief narrative synopsis of the content, a list of key terms, a discussion guide to foster conversation within the organization, a list of suggested trainings for staff, recommendations for working with impacted communities, and a reflection piece, written by a trauma survivor.
