Institute For Equity, Resilience, & Healing with Tovi Scruggs-Hussein
Tovi says: "Healing is not only personal growth, it is professional development. If you work with children and are in service to others, it becomes even more imperative. If we work in service of others, especially as a leader, then healing is part of our own professional development and moral responsibility to those that we serve." If this resonates with you, consider joining the Institute: An intensive monthly learning program for educators focused on inclusion, belonging, and healing applicable to serving all marginalized groups. Registration closes on Monday 10/5.
