About | MS Trauma Conference

CONFERENCE INFORMATION

For the past 8 years, several state and local agencies have joined together to host the annual Trauma Informed Care Conference. Each year, the conference has brought together over 500 diverse participants representing a wide array of service providers. This year's theme, "Finding Hope in a Never-Ending Storm," was chosen to provide optimism that we will work through this difficult times.

Through innovative and thought-provoking sessions, it is our expectation the conference will provide information to assist attendees in working through this difficult time but also help in improving lives even in the absence of adversity.
