Grand Rounds- Shared learning that builds a resilient, trauma-informed community
2019-03-26 09:00 - 11:00 | Louisville Metro Hall, 527 W. Jefferson St., Louisville, Kentucky, 40202
Tuesday, March 26, 2019 from 9:00 – 11:00 am at Louisville Metro Hall in the Mayor’s Gallery
People impacted by adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are often caught in webs of complexity that challenge the very systems designed to help them. Yet schools, government, faith-based organizations, health and social service agencies, out-of-school-time providers, and other community partners often work in siloes, even as the people they serve have needs requiring coordinated support.
Bounce Grand Rounds is a structured forum to foster cross-sector collaboration and a more resilient, trauma-informed community—while generating practical solutions for individuals with especially challenging circumstances.
Join us for this learning opportunity as a “blinded” case is presented. Participants will brainstorm innovative solutions involving all the sectors needed to implement a comprehensive plan of support. And observing the discussion will build your individual and organizational knowledge and skills.
Please register here. Questions? Email admin@bouncelouisville.org
