You’re Invited! Leading Trauma Informed & Resilience Oriented Health Centers
NO-COST SPRING SEMINAR: NOW OPEN FOR REGISTRATION
Moving towards a trauma-informed and resilient organization involves intentional and equitable approaches to systemic and organizational change.

WHAT DID PARTICIPANTS OF THE FALL SEMINAR SAY? |
|
This is my life changing experience!
I felt safe and enjoyed the learning, specifically on "Self & Collective Care.”
I felt supported and validated by peers and challenged to reflect, digest, and take actions based on what I learned.
[This seminar] helped me be a better leader.
It validated my feelings/experiences of working in a FQHC and wanting to make genuine organizational change.
The whole training educates me on the work in health centers; help me to feel more appreciated to their works especially as this pandemic situation.
The opportunity to go within to my true reason for why I am in this work.
It was great to be able to connect with others and have a chance to reflect on how to implement these in my own work.
Gave me focused time and increased understanding tremendously with practical application.
