Building the Movement through Policy and Advocacy - 9th Workshop

As part of the national workshop series "Building the Movement to Prevent Trauma and Foster Resilience", this final ninth workshop focused on our ability to advocate for policy change that’s more responsive to the needs of individuals, families, and communities. Experts provided guidance in how to effectively advocate, and federal, state, and local policy makers talked about opportunities to change the policy landscape.
