Building a Trauma-Informed Nation: Moving the Conversation into Action Sponsored by the Federal Partners’ Committee on Women & Trauma [Wash., DC & Amplifier Sites]

Please save the dates for September 29-30, 2015, on your calendars for this seminal meeting designed to expand the conversation about trauma-informed approaches and create a national action agenda for creating a trauma-informed nation. This meeting will spotlight effective implementation of traumainformed approaches in four major areas: education, health care, the justice system, and communities and congregations. Within each of these areas, workplace and employment approaches will be addressed. Hear from outstanding speakers, including Gary Slutkin, Nancy Hardt, Father Jeff Puthoff, Tina Marie Hahn, Naina Khanna, Robin Delany-Shabazz, Barb Trader, and more.

To expand the reach of this conversation, the keynote, plenary presentations, panels, and dialogue time with the presenters will be webcast to “amplifier sites” across the nation with interactivity between the amplifier sites and the main event in Washington, DC. At each amplifier site, key stakeholders will convene to participate in the interactive webcast and catalyze local dialogue and action. Following each topical area plenary, panel presentations, and discussion session, the DC site and virtual participants at amplifier sites will engage in strategic action planning.
