Call for Papers for Trauma Informed Care Conference

The National Center for Trauma-Informed Care is currently seeking proposals for the Dare to Transform meeting taking place on July 11-12, 2008 at the Phoenix Park Hotel in Washington, DC.

The 2-day learning exchange and networking transformation forum aims to highlight useful and practical strategies for moving forward together with the implementation of trauma-informed care in organizations, programs, and services.

If you have a model or promising program, or are involved in a demonstration of trauma-informed care implementation, we want to hear from you!

Please focus proposals on the implementation of trauma-informed care (TIC) in various systems and services.

Proposals should be no longer than two pages and should describe the TIC approach, successes, barriers, uniqueness of the approach, and how others can benefit from your work.

Proposals should also include a bio or resume from the presenter or presenters, along with affiliation and contact information.

Please submit proposals to nctic@abtassoc.com by no later than February 6, 2008.
