In this month's episode, Janet talks with Snjezana Pruginic from Circle Point Wellness, an organization working at the intersection of wellness and social justice. Snjezana has worked with child soldiers in Colombia to support their ongoing process of reintegration into civil society, and in the justice system in Canada, helping youth to feel more empowered and self-regulated. She has also assisted teachers, parents, and youth justice professionals to better understand traumatized youths’ vulnerability and dysregulation. During their conversation, Janet and Snjezana focus on the importance of being trauma-informed and how this can benefit teachers in better accommodating their students.
