Training or Trial by Fire: How are we Preparing Our Teams To Do The Work

Is your team truly prepared, or just "trained"? In this episode, we unpack SADI Lesson #6: why general advocacy isn't enough.

  • The Framework: How to move past the checklist and integrate trauma-informed and anti-oppression lenses into every lesson.

  • The Skill Set: Prioritizing advocacy based on active listening, building rapport, and radical collaboration.

  • The Gap: What types of training exist, and—more importantly—what is currently missing?
