‘Addressing Trauma’ Workshop Series Begins February 5

We can’t do our critical, transformative work unless we support and foster strength in the people doing that work. Addressing trauma and self-care strategies is a form of capacity building for your organization. The Nonprofit Coordinating Committee of New York (NPCC) and the Mental Health Association of New York City (MHA-NYC) are offering a series of FREE workshops to learn frameworks for self-care, develop resources, and to build relationships within the sector.
