- Every Tuesday: The Trauma Research Foundation is hosting a weekly “Sound Passage: Use Your Voice to Find Your Voice!” The sounds and movements activate the vagus nerve to settle the nervous system, creating a peaceful, calming effect. The vagus nerve, also called the “soul” or “compassion” nerve, activates the body’s social engagement system, turning off the stress system and helping us feel safe in our bodies.

- September 20: Our next CTIPP CAN call will provide a briefing on our new women’s health toolkit, created in partnership with people with lived personal and professional experience interfacing with women’s healthcare systems.
