I'm pleased to share information on our next training in our series on trauma informed strategies for the community! In April, we will focus on how addressing issues of self-care and self-awareness lead to the outcomes we all are striving for children, families and neighborhoods.
In the same way dirt gets under the gardener's nail, trauma work has an impact.
Join us as we focus on finding balance and understanding the importance of self-awareness so that we can best provide unconditional care to others.
Featured Speakers:

Tonier Cain
Tonier Cain is the founder and CEO of Healing Neen, Inc. and a nationally recognized inspirational speaker and trauma care expert that has traveled to every state to train mental health professionals on how to better serve people like her. Neen continues to transform her own life while helping others to embrace her motto “where there’s breath, there’s hope. ”For two decades, Neen hustled on the streets of Annapolis, Maryland, desperately feeding an insatiable crack addiction and racking up 83 arrests along the way. Rapes and beatings were a routine part of life; home was underneath a bridge or inside the locked cage of a prison. In 2004, pregnant and incarcerated for violation of parole, she was provided the opportunity to go to a community trauma, mental health and addictions program. Feeling safe for the first time in her life, Neen confronted the haunting childhood memories that she tried to numb with drugs. Realizing for the first time that she had been a victim, she began to heal and reclaim power over her life, embarking on a remarkable “upward spiral,” that has no limit.
