JOIN THE FEDERAL PARTNERS COMMITTEE ON WOMEN AND TRAUMA TO CATALYZE A TRAUMA–INFORMED NATIONAL STRATEGY
The United States is experiencing a public health crisis: an epidemic of trauma, violence and toxic stress.
In response, efforts to create trauma-informed change are growing exponentially across the nation. Learn how communities are responding and develop your own strategy to amplify change through four “Catalyst Sessions:”
- COMMUNITIES
- HEALTH CARE
- THE JUSTICE SYSTEM
- EDUCATION
Presentations will highlight effective collaborations, promising practices, programs at the state and local levels, as well as first-person experiences, including workforce systems and worker issues. Following the presentations, interactive sessions will facilitate participant discussions and strategic action planning in their local areas or agencies.
PARTICIPATE:
There are three ways to participate:
- Via webcast through an “Amplifier Site” which is a gathering of others interested in this issue (Click here to learn more about amplifier sites);
- Individually via webcast at your computer;
- At the live event in Washington, D.C.
