Trauma & Trauma- Informed Care 101

We learn how to define trauma and understand the importance of addressing it within everyday systems and communities. Together, we —
- Delve into the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Study and the impact of trauma on health and social outcomes
- Expand upon the original ACEs framework to include collective experiences of trauma inflicted by historical and contemporary systemic injustices
- Understand the biology of trauma and resilience, both of which are informed by our environments and the systems that influence them
- Integrate a culture of resilience and trauma-informed practice into your work as an organization and with the communities you serve
