Organized By: National Child Welfare Resource Center for Organizational Improvement

This session will highlight resources and strategies  child welfare agencies, providers and courts can use to expand the availability  of trauma informed services across child serving systems to improve outcomes.   Presenters will highlight resources  available from the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN), and local leaders  from three systems – child welfare, mental health and courts – will discuss the  steps they have taken to expand trauma-informed services both within their  systems and in collaboration with other systems.  Join in this discussion of barriers and  possible approaches and resources you can use to develop trauma informed  services across child serving systems.
