研讨会将由W&M的学生在上午进行演讲，内容涉及跨文化医学、国际难民危机、创伤的影响以及创伤管理的重要性，特别是对那些从事帮助和治疗职业的人。 这些报告按主题分组，旨在阐明跨多个学科存在的广泛的卫生保健和社会正义问题。
Following the keynote address, actors from The Governor’s School for the Arts theatre department will perform “Reframe the Shame.” 这项工作的目的是传播人们对精神疾病耻辱的认识，因为它反映了那些与抑郁症作斗争的年轻人的想法，尤其是在被欺负之后。 The script for the performance, built collaboratively by Steve Earle of the Governor’s School with colleagues from Norfolk State University, comes from anonymous transcripts from real people who consider themselves to be depressed and have contemplated suicide.
Dancers from the 利亚格伦 Dance Theatre will also perform a piece, “Hush,” about the communication and relationship between a parent and her autistic child.
