Building a National Trauma Prevention Movement Workshop, by Becky Haas
The Campaign for Trauma-Informed Policy and Practice (CTIPP) was created in December 2015 by 25 representatives from diverse sectors, including education, mental health, justice, and government. This team shares a common commitment to inform and advocate for public policies and programs at the federal, state, tribal, and local levels that incorporate scientific findings regarding the relationship between trauma and related social and health challenges across the lifespan.  CTIPP focuses explicitly on the common underpinnings of many of our most pressing social and health problems. Through open engagement, we work to expand and continuously improve our collaborative work across sectors and systems. We recognize that sustainable change in policies and programs requires the participation and leadership not only of those responsible for implementation, but also those for whom programs and policies are designed. We are committed to ensuring voice and choice for everyone, especially those that have been marginalized, discriminated against, and excluded from the opportunities that promote health and wellbeing.
 
During January-April of 2022, a series of workshops were hosted by the Campaign for Trauma-informed Policy and Practice (CTIPP), the National Prevention Science Coalition to Improve Lives (NPSC), & PACEs Connection.  These workshops are intended to raise awareness that every sector in every community has the power to implement trauma-informed, resilience-focused, and healing-centered initiatives. This series of eight workshops will provide strategies on how to make that happen in any community. Speakers from diverse backgrounds will provide information on working in different sectors and at various levels to make change happen. Join us every other Friday from 1-5 ET to discuss these important issues.
