Building the Movement by Activating and Equipping Community Coalitions - 7th Workshop

As part of the national "Building the Movement to Prevent Trauma and Foster Resilience", this seventh workshop featured presentations on approaches shown to be effective in persuading leadership in different sectors in communities to embed trauma-informed practices. There was representation from education, child welfare, health care, and the justice system, as well as community engagement methods to create resilient communities, and opportunities to influence policy. While the sessions to date have focused on examples of trauma-informed and resilience-focused work across sectors, this session is highlighting strategies to influence key leaders and stakeholders in creating conditions for this change to occur and to identify sources of funding for community coalitions.This workshop was held virtually on April 1, 2022.
