Professionals who work with vulnerable populations in healthcare, education, or community-based organizations can take advantage of free training in trauma-informed care this summer.

Taylorville Memorial Hospital will host an in-person session on Wednesday, June 4, from 4 to 6 p.m. in Conference Room 1413. The training will focus on understanding the complex impact of trauma, developing compassionate responses, and emphasizing the importance of self-care. Continuing education credits will be available for attendees.

“The goal behind this training is to decrease the stigma around those seeking care for mental wellness,” said Jay Boulanger, community health consultant at Memorial Health. “Participants will learn practical tools for how to approach their work in a trauma-informed way and increase client engagement, outcomes, and community wellness.”

In addition to the in-person event, two virtual sessions are scheduled for June 3 and August 12.
