1:30 PM – Journey of Trauma-Informed Care Practice at BGCMB
Becoming trauma informed is not as hard as it seems. You don’t need to be a therapist or counselor, specific funding or grants, or special initiative to begin. You only need yourself, the 7 Key Elements of a Trauma-Informed Club, and the commitment to learning and growing. Join BGCMB as we discuss our journey to becoming Trauma-informed.
