Joining forces together: a meeting to network for leadership, advocacy, and ever-improving practice for trauma-informed careForum Empowers Trauma-Informed Care Partnerships for Healing and Recovery "If you build it, they will come." The NCTIC has built the Dare to Transform summit and both people interested in and doing trauma-informed care (TIC) are coming. NCTIC's Dare To Transform Trauma Conference will be held at the Phoenix Park Hotel in Washington, DC on July 11-12, 2008. Dare to Transform will host the most talented and diverse force for TIC ever assembled in one venue. While you can anticipate more in the final program, we wanted to give you a sense of the many roundtables, plenaries, workshops, and other types of exchanges that are already in place to stimulate learning and visioning. Together, the expanding social network we build may transform the landscape of TIC forever. Setting the stage for the two-day meeting, an invitational pre-meeting of consumer/survivor peer experts on July 9th will develop a National Consensus Statement on Trauma-Informed Care building on the centrality of consumer/survivors as TIC change agents and the growing awareness of the need for trauma-informed peer support. This will serve to enrich and deepen issue discussion over the following two days at the summit. A series of topical roundtable meetings will take place that evening and will be open to everyone participating in the summit. During the first day of the program, Dare to Transform will begin with overview presentations of the leading three strategic consultation approaches to TIC organizational change that have made such positive contributions to the field's growth. Sandy Bloom will present the 'Sanctuary" system of TIC, Julian Ford and Judy Ford will present the "TARGET" system of TIC, and Roger Fallot will share the "TREM" system of TIC. Later in the meeting, each presenter will conduct a training workshop on key elements and steps in implementing their system. These presentations will be followed by "Creating Services for Women and Girls," (Beyond Trauma) a presentation by Stephanie Covington, trailblazer in the arena of gender, substance abuse, and trauma. She will also conduct a training workshop on key elements and steps in implementing Beyond Trauma. The afternoon will feature 12 workshops and 6 roundtables on various topics. One sample workshop focuses on TIC progress in each state, featuring Ann Jennings and her report on state TIC policy/practice developments, Valerie Leal reporting on TIC in Connecticut, Georgia Berry on TIC in Oklahoma, and others. The day's program will conclude with the evening finale provided by Rha Goddess and Mark Davis, who will leave attendees spellbound with their innovative performances.
During the second day of the program, the opening plenary features Richard Mollica, author of Healing Invisible Wounds, and his work on self-healing, developed through his experiences and learnings from work with Cambodian Holocaust survivors. Meeting participants will have the opportunity to attend 18 workshops and 5 roundtables led by a range of human service leaders, practitioners, and survivors in the field of TIC. The menagerie of topics will include trauma and criminal justice incarceration, suicide risk and prevention needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) citizens, female genital circumcision, refugee and torture victim issues, trauma and domestic violence, youth and trauma, self-injury and trauma, and many, many more. Colleagues will also have the pleasure of attending the first H.O.P.E. (Healing Ourselves through Promises of Empowerment) Awards ceremony, honoring some of the most inspiring leaders living the trauma-informed philosophy.
