Monday, June 2, 2025, 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.
Connecticut Hospital Association, 110 Barnes Road, Wallingford, CT 06492

Join the Connecticut Hospital Association (CHA) for this engaging in-person learning event, where participants will explore the impact of trauma exposure on the overall health and well-being of patients and providers from an intergenerational lens.  Presentations will focus on key strategies to integrate culturally informed frameworks and trauma-informed care models into the care hospitals deliver to their patients.  Topics to be covered include:

• Assessing Risk and Protective Factors with an Integrative Trauma-Informed Approach to Care
• Intersection of Pregnancy, Trauma, Mental Health, and Substance Use Disorders
• Body Movement Strategies

This workshop will serve as the kick-off event for the 2025 PROUD Summer Webinar Series, which will include opportunities for providers to learn from additional practitioners already applying a trauma-informed approach to care in clinical and non-clinical settings to support overall whole-person care.

This workshop is designed to meet the needs of professionals working with patients who have experienced trauma, including those recovering from opioid and other use disorders.
