Keynote Speaker - Bio and Learning Objectives (PDF)
Overview:
Creative Kuponya Therapists have a combined 30-years of mental health and educational experience. With this professional insight we understand the importance of addressing all stakeholders in the educational ecosystem. More specifically, our work centers addressing the triggers of historical trauma in order to thoroughly process pain and disrupt the cycle of passing it on. Through the course of this presentation, we will engage in communal practices to take into our work to settle our nervous systems so we can show up holistically well.
