July 23, 10 am Central – Implementing Trauma-Informed Care: How Understanding Trauma, Empowerment, & Wellness Strengthens Our Work
Trauma-informed care acknowledges the need to understand a survivor’s life experiences in order to deliver effective care, and has the potential to improve the experiences and outcomes of the people we serve. A comprehensive approach to trauma-informed care must be adopted at both the direct-services and organizational levels. Too frequently, providers attempt to implement trauma-informed care at the micro-level without the proper supports necessary for broad organizational culture change. This can lead to uneven, and often unsustainable, shifts in day-to-day operations. This narrow focus also fails to recognize how other staff, such as front desk workers and security personnel, often have significant interactions with clients and can be critical to ensuring that survivors feel safe. In this workshop, we will be taking a look at trauma-informed work from multiple angles, across organizations and role to ensure implementation that can support both clients and staff.

August 26, 10am central – “You Can’t Help Me if You Don’t See Me” Working With Male Victims

In this session we will discuss the reality of male sexual assault, cultural/physical/and relational barriers to receiving services, and finally some tips that we can use to better align our practices with our intentions.
