The Connecticut Hospital Association (CHA) and the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) are hosting a six-part webinar series, PROUD: Trauma-Informed Care, during summer 2025.  Parents Recovering from Opioid and Other Use Disorders (PROUD) is a SAMHSA-funded program of DMHAS.

Session topics will have a unifying theme of trauma-informed care and feature perspectives on infrastructure that supports a respon­sive system of care, the navigation of complex trauma, and the creation of environments that support best practices in caring for others.

Continuing Education (CE) credits are approved.  CE information, presenter biographies, and session details — including updates — will be updated on the registration pages, which can be accessed through the CHA website here.

These sessions are designed for physicians, nurses, social workers, quality professionals, risk managers, healthcare executives, and all healthcare professionals working with patients impacted by substance use and mental health conditions.
