Description
### Overview
We need to create a trauma-informed facilitation guide for product managers and leaders order to be able to create spaces which are open for participants to engage with and learn about sensitive or difficult topics, but also prepare facilitators to be aware of signs of participants being triggered and be able to respond appropriately.
### Action Items
The phases in the guide-making process are listed below. Each phase displayed in blue is linked to a wiki page with instructions on how to complete that phase. Open the wiki page in a new tab, copy the instructions for each part into the section labeled 'Tasks' at the bottom of this issue, and complete each task listed.

### Resources
- Google Drive Folder for this Guide’s documents and shortcuts (to documents in other locations) [0111 [DRAFT] Trauma-informed Facilitation for your project](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/125LTUw9NOV2HZ7wGV5YdJeO4YmgH5xv_)
- This guide has some [helpful information about creating a trauma informed workplace](https://www.workplacestrategiesformentalhealth.com/resources/trauma-in-organizations ) to support employees
- [Trauma Informed Skills for Supervisors](https://youtu.be/LFL6TLcOC5s ) that has some good info. The intended audience is addiction counselors, but the information applies across the board about trauma and how to recognize and respond to trauma responses
- generally i feel like language, context setting, and making spaces accessible for folks is super important. starting out with access needs ensures that folks feel like they have their needs met. [here’s a general resource about the importance of access needs
](https://www.disabilityintersectionalitysummit.com/places-to-start
)
- [this resource specifically focused around facilitation](https://lisamariealatorre.com/2020/08/28/trauma-informed-facilitation/) that is helpful
- and [this one](https://www.facilitating.xyz/trauma-informed-facilitation/ ) as well
- [this is the doc that i go to for anything related to trauma-informed care](https://ncsacw.samhsa.gov/userfiles/files/SAMHSA_Trauma.pdf ). it isn’t specifically focused around facilitation but i find it to be a helpful primer. the principles are useful to go through when facilitating space to make sure that you are being trauma-informed in your approach
- community/group agreements to also be a useful practice. [here’s an example of what they might look like](https://www.emergingsf.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/EBMC_AgreemntsMulticulturalInteractions15.09.13-copy.pdf ). you would want to present these to the group and then have them agree/disagree/edit and then vote to adopt them as a group
