Sarah Buffie MSW, LSW, founding director of Soul Bird Consulting believes that nothing has the power to heal like supportive relationships. Specializing in trauma responsive care, she helps organizations and individuals disrupt current models of thinking by building empathy and understanding around the effects of trauma. Sarah has worked in community organizing- specifically, Asset Based Community Development, for over a decade and has a deep passion for her work. Her focus is to spread awareness about how trauma affects the brain and body, and teach effective approaches for developing resilience within the people organizations strive to serve, and the people closest to the work, caregivers and direct providers. Sarah received her Masters in Social Work from Northern Kentucky University with a focus in trauma, positive psychology, and mindfulness. With years working closely in her Cincinnati community through her Americorps service as well as abroad with her Peace Corps service in Namibia, Africa, Sarah brings a unique community building lens to the work.

Understanding Trauma and Growing Resilience

This session will help participants understand trauma, how it affects the brain and body and how we can join one another on the healing journey. Trauma Responsive Care not only looks at "what happened" to people but also "what did they do to survive." This is an important shift as we look to uncover the hidden resilience in everyone. This session will do a deep dive into how participants can care for themselves through three different types of regulation that will equip them to be more present with the people they support.

Participants will understand how complex trauma affects the brain and body.
Participants will understand regulation practices that support their capacity to be in safe relationships with self and others.
Participants will be introduced to 5 Resilience Factors that support healing and relationship building.
