Traumatic events close to home and throughout the world can have a significant impact on a person’s mental, physical, emotional, and social health.  When we work with people through a trauma-informed lens, it can improve the quality of our interactions with others.  This presentation will answer the questions: What is trauma?  How does trauma affect people?  Why is a trauma-informed approach important to your organization?  What does it look like to practice trauma-informed care with others?
