About

Building upon the growing evidence-base surrounding adverse childhood experiences, this workshop will take a systems-based approach to exploring the ways in which this science can be moved from bench into practice through the integration of trauma-informed approaches across the systems children exposed to trauma are likely to interact with, including: education, healthcare, and juvenile justice. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to learn about these issues from a broad range of perspectives, including voices from survivors of trauma, researchers, and practitioners who will help illuminate best practices and ways forward in building resilient children and communities, as well as communities of practice that are prepared to respond effectively to victims of trauma across systems and sectors There will be ample time for discussion throughout this 2-day program, and participants are invited to fully engage with speakers, Forum Members, and other invited guests within those discussion periods and during networking breaks. This workshop has been planned with the help of an ad-hoc planning committee, and is supported by the Oak Foundation, the Education Development Center, the Archstone Foundation, the National Institutes of Health (NIAAA; NICHD), the Department of Health and Human Services (CDC; OWH); USAID, Kaiser Permanente, and Catholic Health Initiatives
