Equity-Centered, Trauma-Informed Care starts with us
What We Offer
Our Equity-Centered, Trauma-Informed Community (EC-TIC) initiatives are designed to empower individuals and organizations with the tools, knowledge, and support needed to eliminate health disparities and foster healing. Grounded in research-backed practices and strengthened through collaborative partnerships, EC-TIC for Community helps build stronger, more resilient communities across Missouri.
Healing Circles
CHCM’s Healing Circles provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore healing, build resilience, and strengthen community connections. Rooted in equity, compassion, and shared experience, these circles offer a structured yet flexible environment where participants can reflect, process, and grow together.
Through guided discussions, storytelling, and collective support, CHCM fosters an atmosphere of trust and empowerment, allowing individuals to navigate their healing journey in a way that honors their lived experiences and promotes long-term well-being.
