POTTSTOWN — More than 30 faith leaders of the Pottstown area participated in a recent dinner program hosted by Pottstown Trauma Informed Community Connection to learn about the effects of trauma and how to become involved in trauma-informed practices as a community.
The program held at TriCounty Active Adult Center was hosted by the Networks Work Group of PTICC and featured as guest speaker Robert K. Reed, a former federal prosecutor who heads the Office of Public Engagement for the state attorney general.
“What you’re doing here is phenomenal,” Reed told the group. He said that a Trauma Informed Network is being implemented across Pennsylvania to train police, teachers, health care workers, faith leaders and others about the effects of childhood trauma on issues of gun violence, suicide, and opioid abuse.
