Trauma Informed Approach 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Trauma-Informed Care: This community focused session explores the role that traumatic experiences can have in people’s everyday life. The focus of this information is to offer a generous approach by implementing skills that help community adopt a trauma informed approach in the relationships and roles they have. Trauma is part of human experience and working from a trauma informed lens acknowledges the prevalence of trauma within the population.

The hope of sharing this information is that together we can create a kinder more generous community for everyone.
