SUMMARY:Trauma-Informed Science Communication: A Virtual Workshop on Strategies for Inclusive Engagement
DESCRIPTION:“In a world shaped by increasingly complex experiences and perspectives\, truly inclusive communication requires being aware of the language we use and the impact it can have on others. This is a science communication workshop focused on trauma-informed language that equips writers and communicators with tools to share complex scientific information in ways that are accurate\, empathetic\, and accessible to diverse audiences. Participants learn how trauma can shape how people interpret information\, especially on topics such as health\, climate\, or crises\, and how to avoid language that may unintentionally alienate\, overwhelm\, or retraumatize readers/listeners. \n“The workshop will cover principles such as clarity without sensationalism\, inclusive framing\, and audience awareness. Through practical examples and exercises\, attendees practice reframing technical or emotionally charged content using respectful\, non-triggering language while still maintaining scientific integrity. The goal is to help communicators build trust\, foster understanding\, and engage broad audiences more effectively by balancing rigour with compassion. \n“Cost: Free for SWCC Members / $30 CAD for Non-Members \n“Are you a non-member of SWCC registering for this event? If you decide to become a member of SWCC within 2 weeks of the event date\, your membership fee (in the applicable category) will be discounted by the amount you paid for event registration. To activate your discounted membership within the 2-week period\, email office@sciencewriters.ca.”
