Be (Trauma) Informed: Building a Trauma-Informed Jackson County

In partnership with the Jackson County Missouri Community Mental Health Fund, the Community Health Commission of Missouri (CHCM) is hosting a series of EC-TIC Equity Activation Labs for community members and partners in education, health, grassroots, and community-based organizations across Jackson County.

Through this multi-training and educational approach, we will:

• Develop community-centered knowledge about ACEs, chronic stress, equity-centered, trauma-informed care, and culturally responsive mental health strategies for wellness and healing.
• Deepen the capacity of community members, faith leaders, educators, parents, guardians, mental health professionals, and community-based professionals by equipping them with the skills to recognize and respond to trauma. By leveraging our evidence-based, informed care frameworks and tools through CHCM’s Missouri Model for Trauma-Informed Schools and Trauma-Informed Health Care Systems, we will prioritize a train-the-trainers model to create sustainability beyond the life of the training.
• Strengthen the collaborative network of local education, health, and philanthropic partners to co-design sustainable solutions for improving mental well-being across Jackson County.

Sessions are free to attend!
