Become A Trauma Informed Organization

Every organization has the power to be responsive to the impact that negative events and experiences have on members of our community. A trauma informed organization understands the widespread impact of trauma, promotes recovery, and builds resiliency by integrating trauma informed policies and practices into its culture.

Join the Winnebago County Health Department and local organizations from across the county in signing the Trauma Informed Proclamation and working to become a trauma informed organization.

Together, we are building a trauma-informed community.
