This learning community offers participants the opportunity to build the skills needed for effective organizational trauma integration planning. Together, we will explore and discuss key trauma integration resources, with an emphasis on practical tools and strategies for implementing a trauma-informed approach (TIA). The content is grounded in SAMHSA’s Practical Guide for Implementing a Trauma-Informed Approach. Each one-hour online session will focus on implementation strategies within one of SAMHSA’s 10 domain
The learning community is intended for anyone involved in organization-level change, including practitioners, state and local officials, policymakers, federal and non-federal funders, and peers. While we encourage participation in all the sessions, participants may attend as many or as few sessions as their schedules allow.
Each session occurs on the second Tuesday of each month from 10:00am to 11:00am.
