The Connecticut Women's Consortium

Imagine you are in crisis and your only option is going to a busy, overflowing, confusing, emergency room. Would you go? When those struggling with trauma walk into a program, an environment and attitude where people feel unimportant, unheard and unsafe can discourage them to even walk through the front door. Trauma is widespread, and the impact it has on those dealing with mental health, addiction, illness, and poverty is immense. Incorporating trauma-informed, gender-responsive practices into physical space help a program welcome clients and retain motivated staff.

You will walk back through your front door with the ability to assess the environment, transform the space, and advance your program. Important terms such as trauma-specific models, trauma-informed care, the 5 key elements of a trauma-informed system, and gender-responsiveness will be described. You will be empowered to use these concepts, in your unique program similar to how they're used in treatment programs, mental health agencies, criminal justice programs, hospitals, schools, and even cities. The instructor will share examples from agencies, and low-cost, practical ideas from her experience transforming over 30 agencies in Connecticut.
