About Us
Anyone in the community can be subjected to a wide range of traumatic events, from being physically injured to sustaining traumatic brain injury, to witnessing suffering from the aftermath of violence.
This conference is intended for: teachers, school and youth counselors, psychologists, social workers, medical providers, parents and foster parents, and anyone interested in addressing trauma care throughout the healthcare system.
There is no “quick fix” solution for unseen injuries, but education is the key. Those who have experienced trauma need better service and they need it now.
Join us as we come together to inform and unite.
