Moving towards a trauma-informed and resilient organization involves intentional and equitable approaches to systemic and organizational change. This includes focusing on the well-being of all the adults within a system so that they can bring their whole, human selves to the important work they do to care for others. Join the Pacific Southwest MHTTC for a webinar on systems and agency leadership approaches that embrace trauma-informed care. This session will help leaders to understand the fundamentals of leading their organization towards becoming more trauma-informed and resilience-oriented.
