Trauma Training Tuesday
Free Zoom Lecture Series
First and Third Tuesday of the month
12:00 PM - 2:00 PM
The Tuesday Trauma Training Series is intended to build a more trauma informed community in Worcester. We prefer to do the series live but are learning ways to feel connected during this time of being homebound. It is meant to build knowledge about the impact trauma has on individuals and in communities throughout the life cycle. Local experts will share an aspect of trauma and resilience. When we better understand specific traumatic experiences and build trauma informed systems, we will reap the benefits of a more connected and nurturing community. Presenters will take audience questions in the live zoom, and the presentation will be digitally achieved for sharing and on demand. Upcoming Sessions:
06/02/20: Child Maltreatment with Robb Zarges & Lynn Tesconi
06/16/20: Trauma related to Immigration Status with Alex Mooradian
