On Tuesday, April 28th, the Illinois ACEs Response Collaborative hosted a free webinar, Policy Approaches to Creating Trauma-Informed Change: The Campaign for Trauma-Informed Policy and Practice’s National Campaign and Other Opportunities for Advocacy in Illinois, to hear from the Campaign for Trauma-Informed Policy and Practice (CTIPP) on their National Trauma Campaign, its goal of a trauma-informed nation, and applications to policy in Illinois.

This webinar highlighted CTIPP’s efforts to recruit liaisons from all 435 national legislative districts to advocate with their Congressperson on trauma-informed policies and legislation, as well as how they are working to relay coordinated messaging and advocacy on a national stage. It also discussed the Campaign’s active role in working to influence current legislation around COVID-19 and updated audience members on opportunities to leverage federal funds to promote a trauma-informed response to the pandemic.
