> OLRS to participate in State Dialogue Meeting
The Center for Mental Health Services' (CMHS) National Center for Trauma Informed Care (NCTIC) invited OLRS Commissioner and PAIMI Advisory Council member Pat Risser, and OLRS advocate Beth Oberdier to participate in the second State Dialogue Meeting on Trauma Informed Care in Baltimore, Maryland. The first dialogue, which convened in early December, addressed the basic elements of trauma informed systems and the importance of planning and implementing this organizational change in collaboration with consumers/peers and survivors. The second dialogue will focus on the implementation of trauma informed system elements both in community mental health programs and in mental health facilities. The meeting will bring together consumers/peers and survivors, CMHS and NCTIC staff, Commissioners and designated program staff, and state Medical Directors who are working together to create dynamic learning communities to advance the development of trauma informed systems of care.
