Join the NYS Trauma-Informed Network and learn how to get the most out of the NYS Trauma-Informed Network
This past year, MHANYS has been a member of a cross-sector Advisory Council, shaping the site’s look and content to make sure we are setting the stage for high quality connections and access to resources to help Trauma Champions have what they need to support real transformation across New York State. Participants will receive an introduction to the NYS Trauma-Informed Network and learn how to join, how to share resources through the network, how to provide feedback on the network’s website, and how to use the network to enhance their community and survivor support work.
The discussion will be moderated by Chrys Ballerano (New York State Coalition Against Sexual Assault) and Deborah Faust (Mental Health Association in New York State).
The webinar will be held on October 29, 2019, at 1:00 PM ET. This webinar is free to attend. Registration is required.
