THOUGHT STARTERS
Videos, backgrounders and questions to help us all begin to engage in thinking about tech and trauma so we can make the most of our time together.
Dr. Julie Cooper on childhood trauma
Dr. Julie Cooper has extensive experience training adults around the world in trauma-informed care, as well as developing curricula for caregivers, business leaders, governments, and organizations. In this short video, Julie talks about the incidence and impact of childhood trauma as well as the power of trauma-informed care to help kids heal.
Jon Hirst on global translation
As we think through the idea of developing an AI-driven trauma coach that could be available to anyone, anywhere, on any device, tackling the challenge of global translation is a must. Being able to effectively and efficiently translate allows us to tap into the best, research-based trauma resources from around the world and ensure that they are culturally relevant to multiple communities. Listen in to hear Jon Hirst of SIL International talk about the power of AI, large language models and community-based translation.
Dr. Joe Tucci on mobilizing knowledge
Dr. Joe Tucci of the Australian Childhood Foundation will be joining us all the way from Australia! In this short video, he talks about why he’s excited about sharing his vast library of resources and join forces with others to help trauma-affected children. As he says, the more informed we all are, the better outcomes we will see for kids everywhere. The key is mobilizing knowledge! Powerful.
Ed Martin talks about “omniwins”
I met Ed a few years ago and he taught me the term “omniwin”, where multiple players can all win by pursuing an initiative together. In this video, Ed talks about the power working together can have and how excited he is to see this group of people who all care about mental health come together. Many of you know Ed already, but if you don’t, in this quick video, you’ll get a sense of why he inspires all of us to look for bigger opportunities to lift each other up. Making a big difference is possible!
Questions to start thinking about
We will be talking about how to build the strongest solution to help trauma-affected kids around the globe and to do that, we want to borrow from some of the best practices that are already at work. A few questions to consider…
How have you encountered AI as a tool that allows you to be more effective, more efficient, or makes your life easier?
What examples of AI have you seen lately that are effective in helping drive positive social change? What can we learn from them?
When we are considering developing the world’s best AI-powered trauma coach, one of the questions we will need to wrestle with is, what resources does the AI rely on? What establishes those resources as the best and safest available? And in what areas will we need to consider establishing some standards to ensure we’re creating the best possible tool?
What alliances or large collaborative groups have you been a part of that have been extremely effective? What can we learn from how they operate?
