Lunch and Learn Series
Join us on Wednesday, October 29 from 12–1 PM for DARCC’s next Lunch & Learn featuring Ruby Jo Walker, LCSW of Southwest Trauma Training Services.
Ruby Jo will present “The Neurobiology of Fawning and Appeasement”—exploring how physiology, power, and trauma responses shape behavior. Participants will learn to identify indicators of fawning and appeasement, differentiate between them, and understand the neurobiological underpinnings of trauma states.
This free session is open to the community, and CEUs are available.
