SUMMARY:Capital Area Trauma Collaborative Trauma Summit
DESCRIPTION:The Capital Area Trauma Collaborative is hosting a Trauma Summit in Baton Rouge on November 14.  \nThe summit will bring together service providers who work with trauma-impacted populations but who also may not be immersed in trauma-informed approaches. The purpose of the summit is to align trauma-informed work in Baton Rouge and the surrounding areas. Expected outcomes include the establishment of smaller working groups that will be coordinated through the Capital Area Trauma Collaborative\, which will operate as a regional hub for Whole Health Louisiana\, sharing information to and from the Whole Health Louisiana Statewide Lead and the Coalition. \nA primary tenet of Whole Health Louisiana is to enhance existing efforts by raising public awareness\, amplifying evidence-based policies\, sharing data for future decisions\, and supporting the workforce to expand trauma-informed efforts statewide. Whole Health Louisiana envisions the summit and resulting workgroups as a model that can be replicated and/or adapted in other regions to build and scale cross-sector collaboration throughout the state. \nWant to learn more?
