2025-02-26 13:00 - 15:00 (America/Chicago) | https://icoyouth-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZErd-igqjssH9abjnQpyQ9wU8nmFRk0yCXH
Creating a trauma-informed organization does not have a one-size fits all approach. This training serves as a guide for organizations in developing and growing trauma-informed care within its organizational structures. Organizations will learn how to develop strategies to create and enhance their trauma-informed practices in teams, programs, and overall agency systems. We will discuss policy and procedure revisions and offer approaches in developing and building a trauma-informed organization. Participants should leave the training feeling empowered to respond empathically, develop realistic goals, and resist re-traumatization. Two continuing education credits will be offered for this training. If you would like to request CEUs, you may do so in the evaluation sent after completing this training.

Harm reduction is an evidence-based framework rooted in the inherent humanity of people who use drugs and alcohol. In this training, we will explore the principles of harm reduction, their far-reaching impact, and intersections with justice-based movements such as racial equity, LGBTQ+ rights, and access to housing and healthcare. Finally, we will learn tangible tools and skills from the movement and how to implement them as service providers to reduce stigma and employ healing-centered approaches in our responsiveness to clients struggling with substance use and mental health.
