Organizations that work with older adults can become trauma-informed, resilience-oriented, and equity-focused to best meet the needs of the people they serve. Please join this event to receive information and then engage in a conversation about trauma-informed, resilience-oriented, and equity-focused systems (TIROES) and approaches.
