SUMMARY:Trauma Informed Care Conference 2023
DESCRIPTION:Children’s Institute in partnership with the UCLA Pritzker Center brings you the 2023 Trauma-Informed Care Conference. This year’s Trauma-Informed Care Conference will focus on creating a culture of wellness & prevention for children\, families & community. We are particularly excited about a discussion with California’s Surgeon General\, Diana Ramos\, MD\, and UCLA Professor of Psychiatry\, Eraka Bath\, MD\, moderated by LAist Senior Reporter\, Mariana Dale. The conversation will touch on critical topics including investment in youth mental health\, the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)\, and imagining a path forward for Californians most impacted by toxic stress. \nChildren’s Institute leads the way in trauma-informed care and evidence-based clinical treatment by training thousands of professionals and caregivers throughout the year. CII’s annual Trauma-Informed Care Conference is a pivotal part of this work\, bringing together professionals from the front lines including those working with at-risk children and families: child welfare and mental health professionals; school and juvenile justice workers. Also part of the critical conversation are policymakers\, program administrators and organizational leaders from public and private agencies. \nWho should attend: \n\nProfessionals from the front lines including those working with at-risk children and families: child welfare and mental health professionals; school and juvenile justice workers.\nPolicymakers\, program administrators and organizational leaders from public and private agencies.\nStudents interested in going into professions that support and/or advocate on behalf of system-involved families.
