The panels will describe successful programs in each sector, advise on how to access and discuss trauma-informed work with decision makers in each sector and with community stakeholders, and will direct participants to resources that support implementing policies and practices based on the science of positive and adverse childhood experiences. There will also be opportunities for participants to share their stories of trauma and resilience to further reinforce the need for trauma-informed mindsets, systems and policies.

“Building a National Movement to Prevent Trauma and Foster Resilience” comprises a series of eight virtual workshops held every two weeks from January 7, 2022, through April 15, 2022. The half-day workshops are designed to provide information and tools for community coalitions to integrate trauma-informed, resilience-focused and healing-centered approaches into their local systems. These include child welfare, education, health care, justice and faith-based systems. Themes across all sectors include diversity, equity and inclusion; racial justice; community voice; a cross-sector approach; opportunities for youth; individual, families, and communities. The goal is to reduce individual, organizational and community exposure to trauma, particularly in underserved and marginalized populations. People with experience in relevant areas will lead each session for participants, which include community stakeholders, practitioners and administrators.

The series is presented by the Campaign for Trauma-Informed Policy and Practice, the National Prevention Science Coalition to Improve Lives, and PACEs Connection. It is co-sponsored by the National Youth Employment Coalition, the Center for Trauma Resilient Communities, the University of North Carolina Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute, the Kellin Foundation, Penn State College of Health and Human Development, and the Edna Bennett Pierce Prevention Research Center.

Here’s the workshop schedule:

January 7 — State of the Movement and Future of the Movement with Jane Stevens and Dan Press; Building the Movement with Community Coalitions. Paul Abernathy, Colleen Bridger, Jennifer Brinkmann, Mandy Davis, and Dave Ellis will lead a discussion on community and state coalitions doing trauma-informed work. They will address the question: How do we bring people together around trauma science to influence positive change for all?
