#DisuptersUnite will unite for the fourth annual Trauma Informed Educators Network (TIEN) Conference on June 22-23, 2023, according to conference founder and planner, Mathew Portell, director of education and communities for PACEs Connection.
“TIENetwork2023 is bringing back the opportunity for our community of education leaders – professionals working to change the education system – to learn and connect virtually,” said Portell. “Offering this as a virtual conference allows our international members to participate and share their expertise,” he added.
Registration is $199, which includes access to recordings of all sessions and keynotes for 60 days after the conference.
“Demand for the conference to be virtual was overwhelming. In a survey of the more than 32,000 TIENetwork social media group members, the clear majority of respondents asked for the conference to be virtual,” said Portell, who added that there are plans to host the event again in person in 2024.
“This conference continues to be small by design and will connect participants through interactive sessions and networking ‘home groups’ to help participants widen their network of connections to others doing the work,” said Portell. “We want our members to access new ideas, strategies and learning. Now, with the addition of home groups, members will also have benefit of widening their network of connections to others doing the work,” he said.
Noted innovators in trauma-informed education movement, including Ricki Gibbs, PhD; Lori Desautels,PhD; and Robin Cogan, MEd, RN, Nationally Certified School Nurse (NCSN), will deliver keynote addresses.
The conference’s 25 sessions will be recorded, and all registrants will be given viewing access following the conference.
TIENetwork is partnering with HelpMe for K-12 students to offer this year's conference.
HelpMe Delivers on a highly configurable mobile platform and provides support and resources to students, families, and staff using a healing-centered interface. The HELPme app trains all school users on the importance of asking for help, recognizes asking for help as a critical life skill, and provides a safe way to practice asking for and receiving help from one’s first interaction with the school.
HELPme provides three ways to help based on the user’s comfort level:
- Self-Help: Get Resources
- Help from a Trained Crisis Counselor: Crisis Text Line
- Help from your School or Community: Get Help
In support of the trauma-informed movement, TIENetwork will donate a portion of conference proceeds to PACEs Connection.
