Building Trauma-Informed Systems: How Trauma Affects Us and Those We Serve

 

Too many children are affected by parental opioid use in Waukesha County. If you are a social worker, law enforcement officer, or work in the schools, you interact with these young victims of crime regularly and it is critical you know the signs of youth trauma.

This isn’t your typical seminar. This two-day seminar features a 21st Century approach to recognize and address trauma in youth. Day 1 features Nicole Milliren, M.S., LPC, from Circle of Security®, whose mission is “to help children and families with a history of trauma and/or disrupted relationships in a cost-effective manner through research-validated assessments and intervention in the areas of attachment, child development, and neuroscience.”

Day 2 features Dr. Jessica Juneau, Dane County Circuit Court Judge Everett Mitchell and retired Norfolk Police Sergeant Christopher J. A. Scallon. A micro to macro look at trauma - how it affects the individual, the secondary trauma in providers, and building collaborative informed systems.

In schools, in homes, in court - you see the severity of the opioid crisis every day. It’s time to recognize trauma in Waukesha’s youngest victims of crime. Get started by signing up and together, we can combat this opioid epidemic.
