We are excited to invite you to our next SESC Trauma-Informed Practices Cadre on Wednesday, November 4!
We know that trauma-informed practices, behavior, mental health, attendance, academics, and staff wellness are all connected. But how do we help others see those connections? More importantly, how do we move beyond individual initiatives and create a shared understanding that leads to meaningful, sustainable change?
During this session, we'll explore practical ways to engage staff, shift perspectives, and strengthen trauma-informed practices within a tiered delivery of services. We want this to be a conversation, not just another presentation! Come ready to share what's working, talk through challenges, and learn from others across our region.
Session Details:
Date: Wednesday, November 4, 2026
Time: 8:30–10:00 AM
Location: VIRTUAL ONLY
