Trauma-Informed Care is about recognizing the prevalence and impact of trauma in our communities and then using that knowledge to influence how we interact with people to create emotionally and physically safe environments. A key component of being trauma-informed is reflecting on our own stress response, perspectives, assumptions, and building an understanding of how this might impact our own relationships. How might a trauma-informed lens transform your interactions with clients, coworkers, neighbours, and family?

Join us for a conversation with Agnes Chen and Vicki Park on the importance of Trauma-Informed Care.

As an active member of the TIC Collective, she is passionate about promoting empathy and co-creating resilient and trauma-informed communities. 

As a mental health therapist for CUPS, it is Vicki Park's mission to see all people empowered and treated with dignity.  Her introduction to Brain Science and her subsequent passion for trauma-informed care began in her previous role as an educator in the public school system and she now carries this passion into her daily work, as well as into her advocacy role as Co-Chair of the TIC Collective.
