Crossnore Communities for Children’s Post

Tomorrow, May 1st, I am humbled to begin working with the team at Trauma-Informed Utah (TIU) - traumainformedutah.org. TIU provides critical technical assistance, education, and research to organizations and the community on trauma-informed care and services. Digging into trauma awareness, it becomes clear, very quickly, that approaching services for clients with this awareness is essential for better outcomes, stronger organizations, and more cohesive communities. Take a look at the services we provide, and reach out to discover how becoming a trauma-informed organization will vastly improve your work with individuals while also incorporating key concepts and understanding into your organization’s culture.

#RecoveryMonth is a time to increase awareness and understanding of #substanceuse disorders and celebrate those who have found the strength to overcome them. It's a time to remember that recovery is not only possible, but attainable for those who seek it. In line with this mission, The Partnership @drugfreeNH has created "Better Now: Life Without Substance Use," a short film that conveys hope and resilience. It's an opportunity to see through the eyes of five remarkable individuals from #NewHampshire who have embarked on a long-term journey of #recovery from substance misuse. https://lnkd.in/erRv9Cx5 #NationalRecoveryMonth #HopeIsReal #RecoveryIsReal
