PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Educating law enforcement, educators, municipalities, and human services professionals about the impact of childhood trauma is key to creating a community of first responders, schools, mentors, and families that recognize the signs of trauma, as well as understand that the consequences of trauma can be prevented and healed.
