Description

Implement trauma-informed practices in your community that build resilience and lead to positive community change! Transforming Our Community Summit: From Adversity to Resilience As a community leader, you are confronted daily with complex problems that require you to work across agencies to achieve practical solutions. Often, there are conflicting ideas and a lack of understanding at the root of these problems and how to fix them. What if you could spend a day learning about our most persistent problems- violence, substance use, child abuse, disease, poverty, incarceration, and individual, family and community dysfunction - but also leave with the tools to make better decisions to serve your organization and community. That is what Transforming our Community Summit: From Adversity to Resilience is all about. Trauma is common and impacts our physical and mental health and development. Trauma impacts all organizations through: Lost productivity - $102.1 Billion Increased healthcare expenses - $29.8 Billion Special Education - $5.5 Billion Child Welfare - $5.4 Billion Criminal Justice - $4.6 Billion After spending the day with our nationally recognized expert Becky Haas in building trauma-informed communities, you and your community partners will have a roadmap and tools to make significant progress across the different sectors of our society. This conference is designed to help you understand how you can implement trauma-informed practices in your community that build resilience, both individually and collectively, and lead to positive community change. Please join us on this exciting journey toward community resilience. Register TODAY!
