The number of children in the world today that have suffered a traumatic incident is on the rise. People do not realize how close these issues truly are to the communities across America. It is for this reason that the Crawford and Erie County Human Services along with Edinboro University and Peace4Crawford began working together to educate members of the community.
Monday, Sept. 26, will mark the Third Annual Trauma Informed & Resilient Communities Conference. This year’s conference will be held at Edinboro University.
The goal of the conference is to raise awareness and education for members of northwestern Pennsylvania communities about projects and advocacies for victims of trauma. This year’s title is “Building and Sustaining Trauma Informed Communities.”
It will feature Matthew Sandusky, founder and executive director of peaceful hearts foundation, as its keynote speaker. Sandusky is the adopted son of Jerry Sandusky as he speaks on his own childhood trauma.
