As counselors and mental health professionals, we seek to expand our knowledge of the diverse populations we serve, and the complexity of how traumatic and stressful life events impact the mental health of individuals, families, communities, and systems.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to
- Discuss the pillars of the Trauma Informed Care and the Multicultural Orientation Framework
