The Great Lakes A/MH/PTTC is offering this training for individuals working in HHS Region 5: IL, IN, MI, MN, OH, WI. This training is being provided in response to a need identified by Region 5 stakeholders.
A trauma-informed approach to human services, and other systems, is a great foundation, but what if being “informed” is not enough? Mr. Price will discuss strategies and lessons learned to demonstrate the importance of leadership and support from administration in incorporating the culture shift of becoming trauma-Informed and beyond. Keeping in mind that the importance of a healthy workforce, Mr. Price will also talk about the implications and benefits of a healthy, regulated workforce.
A trauma-informed approach is not just for the benefit of those we serve: it has to be a parallel process in our organizations and departments. Attending to this will help build regulated and resilient staff and will bring able to hope and energy to their professional and personal lives.
Certificates of attendance will be available by email to all who attend the training in full.
