Healing Networks: Recognition and Restoration

Trauma Transformed (T2)

This is the first in our series of Healing Network sessions that will provide an opportunity for dialogue and connection to talk about the issues your community is facing, identify needed supports, and to practice and learn together strategies to recognize, reclaim, and lift up our inherent blessings and resiliencies. Participants will leave the session feeling grounded, connected, and with strategies they can implement with their teams and in their daily life.
