Free training on trauma-informed care is available for people who work in community-based organizations, health care or education settings or who work closely with people in vulnerable populations.
The training will be offered in person on Wednesday, June 25, from 1 to 3 p.m. at Jacksonville Memorial Hospital in Meeting Room 2. Attendees will learn about trauma’s complex impact, creative and compassionate responses and the importance of caring for self. Continuing education credits are available.
“The goal behind this training is to decrease the stigma around those seeking care for mental wellness,” said Claire Peak, a community health consultant at Memorial Health. “Participants will learn practical tools for how to approach their work in a trauma-informed way and increase client engagement, outcomes and community wellness.”
Two virtual sessions will also be available on June 3 and August 12. For more information on both in-person and virtual trainings, email peak.claire@mhsil.com or register at https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/d5f58857d95f4cb7bad67ba48c78f20f.
