Learning Series 2020

Excellent client outcomes and employee wellness are deeply connected.

Wayne Scott Favicon blueHealth and human services organizations can’t have one without the other. Informed by research from the fields of interpersonal neurobiology, attachment, and traumatology, the trauma-informed framework underscores this truth: the health of our workers ensures our success. Is your agency on top of it? Are you?

For organizations and professionals committed to deepening their understanding of this framework, the Spring 2020 Trauma-informed Care Learning Series offers lively, experiential learning and practical tools to improve client outcomes and enhance professional wellness. Workshops are offered throughout the state of Oregon.
