Webinar: The Power of Language and Portrayals:  What We Hear, What We See

Educating the media is always an important part of maturing the conversation on important issues impacting the community.  I thought I'd share in case any one was interested in this webinar designed to inform media about trauma and how the community can help individuals heal.  I remember the way communities reference trauma, and the words used, was an engaging topic a few weeks ago.

YOU'RE INVITED!
Thursday, February 9, 2017
2PM-3PM ET / 11AM-NOON PT

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
with support from The Entertainment Industries Council (EIC) 
Announces a Special Webcast Series for Media Professionals!

This webcast will explore the impact of trauma on individuals and those who witness traumatic experiences in various environments—such as home, school, and community—as it relates to substance use disorders. Trauma and violence in the U.S. is widespread, harmful, and costly public health concerns. Just like substance use disorders, trauma can affect anyone with no regard to age, gender, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. The webcast will address the positive effect that various groups such as the faith community and peer-to-peer engagement plays in helping individuals get the treatment and recovery services needed.
