Building A Trauma-Informed Nation: Moving The Conversation Into Action

Do you work with a disadvantaged population?  Do you often feel like it is difficult to understand the behavior of some of your clients or constituents.  Ever wonder how some people can be so short-tempered, or withdrawn when working with your group?  Perhaps, it would be helpful to learn more about trauma, and how it affects the daily lives of millions of Americans.

In Sacramento, on September 29th and 30th 2015, stakeholders will have the opportunity to join in on the dialogue around, "Building a Trauma-informed Nation:  Moving the Conversation into Action"; a 2-day conference that will focus on how to expend and spread the conversation about trauma-informed approaches, and create a national action agenda for creating a trauma-informed nation.  This conference will be webcast from Washington D.C. via Sacramento amplifier location, hosted by the Sacramento Minority Youth Violence Prevention Collective, to be determined and announced shortly.   

The conference will spotlight trauma-informed approaches in four major areas: the criminal justice system, education, health care, and communities and congregations. Within each of these areas, workplace and employment approaches will be addressed.  Speakers for this event include Gary Slutkin, Nancy Hardt, Father Jeff Puthoff, Tina Marie Hahn, Naina Khanna, Robin Delany-Shabazz, Barb Trader, and more.

Following each panel presentation, and discussion session, participants will engage in strategic action planning.
