Moving towards a trauma-informed and resilient organizations, agencies, and school systems 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 Southeast MHTTC for a webinar on systems leadership approaches that embrace trauma-informed care at both the district and state levels. Highlighting local and regional leaders, this series offers both the theory and practical tips to support school workforces to implement trauma informed principles in our practices, programs and policies.

Please note that the foundational content framing trauma informed practice will be the same for each session; the leadership spotlights will be different each session.
