4th Biennial Trauma Conference:
"Addressing Trauma across the Lifespan: Integration of Family, Community, and Organizational Approaches”
Conference Description:
Emotional trauma negatively impacts individuals and their families across the lifespan and can occur in any environment and ensnare single or multiple victims. Examples include exposure to violence, abuse, natural disasters, severe illness or injury, and traumatic loss of loved ones. Utilizing a trauma-informed service delivery approach that strengthens practices, programs and partnerships is vital in addressing the negative consequences of trauma.
