Season 11: Culture of Care Host Introduction

The Oregon Education Association welcomes you to Season 11 of the OEA Grow podcast series in which we will discuss the growing problem of trauma in our schools. Our host this season is Dr. Amy Yillik from Culture of Care, a program in central Oregon that offers coaching and consultation for schools in trauma responses.

In this season’s episodes, Amy draws on her more than twenty years’ experience as a school counselor, psychologist, and counselor educator, as well as her position as professor in the School Counseling Master’s Program at the University of Southern California. Amy will speak with educators around the state this season who have developed trauma-sensitive, restorative, and equitable practices to take care of our students, ourselves, and each other.
