The Elephant in the Room: Addressing Trauma in Your Organization 

November 30, 2022 @ 12:00 pm 1:00 pm EST

Free

The expression “the elephant in the room” is a metaphor for a problem that everyone acknowledges is there, but no one is sure exactly what it is or what to do. In every organization, trauma is an elephant.

This webinar will highlight the work of Children & Families First (CFF). This multi-service organization has been supporting children and families across Delaware for decades, forging strong relationships with schools and other community partners to offer a wide array of services. Learn how CCF is applying brain science and trauma-informed leadership practices to build resilience within their organization and community partners.

The presenters will review the tools and resources CFF has developed to help community partners learn and apply brain science concepts in their work. Webinar participants will also learn about CFF’s “LeadU” training curriculum, which is focused on applying brain science principles to best practices in staff supervision and development.
