To start the call, we will be joined by a staff member in Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley's office (D-MA-07) to discuss the STRONG Support for Children Act, which was reintroduced last month. Dan and Jesse will also briefly discuss other recent progress and opportunities, including the RISE from Trauma Act.
This month's main two presenters have helped start and expand the missions of various nonprofit organizations to support the deep needs in their communities and states. Understanding that trauma is at the heart of so many issues communities all over face, they embraced trauma-informed approaches to bring about the healing and wellness that the world around them needed.
  • Rev. Sanghoon Yoo, MSW, MDiv. is the founder of The Faithful City (TFC) and Arizona Trauma-Informed Faith Community (AZTIFC). Rev. Yoo will present the trauma-informed faith community movement in Arizona: AZTEC's birth, its exponential growth with training, organizational journey, regional gathering, track development, and its statewide conference. As a board member for the Arizona ACEs Consortium, he will illustrate the collaboration of the various social and governmental sectors, in which the faith community has been actively engaged to build a trauma-informed community and state.
  • Rebecca Lewis-Pankratz works with communities and school across the United States to truly solve poverty and heal trauma. She does this by helping leaders create sustainable ecosystems of resilience through building better relationships. Rebecca fought her way out of poverty in 2011 with three young sons. A local poverty resolution project found Rebecca and activated her journey, a non-profit she went on to work for and helped build multiple projects like it to help more families. In 2015, she started working with public education and ignited a trauma-informed schools movement.
