I would like to become more involved with this groups community activities...can anyone inform me how?

I would like to connect with anyone in this community, who is delivering Trauma-Informed Care to Adults and utilizing the ACE study as a platform. To this date, I have not found anyone who wants to connect with me. I am an LMHCA & CDP with a private practice who would like to provide workshops in the community. Please contact me if you are interested! Respectfully, Alfred awhite@seattlerecovery.org

I would like to partner with anyone or a clinician to provide workshops and presentations to our Adult community on Resiliency?
