Supporting the Whole Student: Trauma-Informed and Culturally Responsive Career Services
Bartlett Academic Success Center 306
This interactive session explores how mental health, systemic stress, and intersectionality shape how students engage in career development spaces. Participants will examine how behaviors often labeled as disengagement may reflect deeper barriers and will learn practical trauma-informed, culturally responsive strategies to better support student success. Through reflective discussion and real-world application, attendees will leave with actionable tools to implement within their own institutions.
