Happy New Year,

There is a tremendous amount of hope for the year ahead! The movement's foundation continues to strengthen as we work toward transformative change to prevent trauma and reduce the progression of adversity across the lifespan. So much progress was made at local, state, and national levels in 2023, and we are excited to continue building the movement alongside our growing network of advocates and activists in 2024!

Our January 2024 CTIPP CAN call will focus on a vision for trauma-informed transformation across sectors and systems. We must ensure that we are working across the lifespan and supporting advocacy efforts to promote policies and practices that make a meaningful difference across the various dimensions of our society that work to support individuals, families, and communities. 

  • WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 2024, from 2:00-3:00pmET // 11:00am-12:00pmPT (Additional time for networking and idea sharing from 3:00-3:30pmET // 12:00-12:30pmPT)
  • FREE REGISTRATION
  • ZOOM LINK: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/742183645 (Meeting ID: 742 183 645, +19292056099,,742183645# US/New York, +13017158592,,742183645# US/Germantown)

We will present an updated vision guided by what we have learned from various efforts across dimensions in the past. We will solicit opportunities for feedback and input as this multi-sectoral vision for a more trauma-informed future continues to be shaped moving forward. 

We appreciate you and look forward to a wonderful year of continued progress ahead!

Sincerely,

The CTIPP Team
