Notes From Our Advisory Board
“The more trauma-informed a therapist, parent, system is, the more a child can overcome the effects of trauma to heal and thrive. Creating a trauma-informed community for the children who have experienced trauma improves their opportunities and chances towards resilience and recovery.”
Adrienne Fricker-Elhai, Ph.D.
Central Behavioral Healthcare“Becoming a trauma informed community is a long-term initiative that involves a commitment to engage people across all walks of life – justice system, education, welfare, housing, health care, businesses, community members, churches, first responders, etc. — in a common goal of increasing awareness and promoting healing.”
Julie Pratt, MSW, LISW-S
Clinical Director for Harbor Behavioral Health’s School-based Day Treatment“The Coalition gives us the opportunity to collaborate with other agencies and offer trauma-informed services to all the individuals we are privileged to serve.”
