Creating Safer Spaces funded by Remake Learning
October 11 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Welcome to our online event, where we will discover how to foster environments where everyone feels respected, heard, and supported. This session blends practical strategies with self-awareness to help build trust, reduce harm, and nurture community belonging. Don’t miss out on this chance to participate in this important conversation!
Shannon Jenkins, program deliverer at Awaken Pittsburgh, has had two life events that have placed her squarely in the experience of life-before and life-after: cancer and the loss of mobility as-she-knew-it at age twelve, and the death of her brother when she was 27. Both carved the paths she would take to working with neurodivergent learners and the gravitation to mindfulness practice. Shannon began teaching neurodivergent learners in 1999, and has worked as a caseworker for non-profits and government agencies as well. She has been in a relationship with meditation and mindfulness practice for 11 years. Shannon finds putting hands in soil, petting animals, laughter, silliness, movement, and deep hugs an important part of this practice. She believes learning to love where you are is a radical act.
