Skill in Bloom is a video series designed to keep trauma-informed skills rooted in our daily practice. All of these skills are also explored in our SEEDS programs. Each video offers bite-sized tips, a gentle nudge to try a skill during the week, and an invitation to come back and share what you noticed. More videos available soon!
Share your reflections, experiences, and questions on the SEEDS Early Childhood Professionals Learning Community (use your Wellbeing For LA Learning Center login to access).
