Event Navigation
The Duluth Thrives Resiliency Summit covers practices to unravel the affects of trauma.
The first keynote speaker is Christine Bright, MBA, lead consultant and trainer of the Chicago-based Center for Healing and Justice Through Sport. She will address “The Brain & Stress: What’s Happening and What We Can Do About it.”
The second keynote speaker is Jebeh Edmunds, founder and CEO of Duluth-based Jebeh Consulting, whose topic will be, “Implicit Bias, Diversity and Inclusion, Microaggressions.” Participants will be able to self-assess their own implicit bias and learn about the three different types of microaggressions: behavioral, environmental and verbal.
The program will also include a panel discussion with Bright and Edmunds, as well as Carl Crawford, city of Duluth Human Rights Officer, and LeAnn Littlewolf, Co-Director of the American Indian Community Housing Organization. Suzanne Koepplinger, founder and consultant of Catalyst North, will moderate.
A certificate of attendance for continuing education units will be available. Teachers, coaches, youth workers, foster care, parents, grandparents, therapists, professionals in the medical field, and trauma-impacted individuals will also benefit from attending.
The full agenda, plus information about registration and scholarships, can be found at juniorleagueduluth.org. A Zoom link is also available.
