CTIPP is excited to announce that we’re participating in this year’s “Giving Tuesday," which is a global movement to share, collaborate, and celebrate generosity with over 80 participating countries and 260 U.S. community campaigns. 

The fundraising campaign will support PressOn through the Dan Press Memorial Fund, our initiative that unites local, state, and regional trauma-informed coalitions into a national alliance that acts as the “switchboard” to connect and mobilize the movement.

You can give hope, healing, and resilience to communities across America by donating today to CTIPP’s Giving Tuesday campaign. Donations are tax-deductible, and the fundraising drive ends at 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday, November 29, 2022.

CTIPP relies on donations and grants to provide all who are interested with opportunities to engage in and support the trauma-informed movement at no cost.

Sincerely,

Your Friends at CTIPP

MINDFUL MOMENT: INTENTION-AL MEETINGS

 

Want to maximize your collaboration with colleagues and stakeholders? Set intentions at the start of the meeting to help strengthen social and emotional well-being – for individuals and collectively! Before each meeting, ask yourself and/or the team any of the following:

  • What do I/we want this person/people to know?  Why? 
  • What do I/we want this person/people to feel? Why? 
  • What do I/we want this person/people to do? Why? 
  • What do I/we want to learn from this person/group? Why? 

Based on what you identify, reverse engineer strategies and tactics to help you/the group create outcomes connected that reach the above intentions. E.G., what steps will you/the group take to ensure everyone is aligned and engaged?
