Trauma-informed System of Care
On May 29, 2012, a Symposium was held at kidsLINK on Trauma-informed Systems of Care. The Key-note Speaker was Dr. Ann Jennings. Participants from various government and social service agencies were in attendance, as well as others in the community interested in the topic. To find out more about the symposium and to view our extensive Trauma-informed resources, please click on the infographic.
ADVOCACY
As a parent and caregiver there are many times when you know your child is just not getting what they need or should be getting. Along with that comes the stress of dealing with a child with mental health issues. You want to help your child that is often described as “behavioural” in many settings; home, school & community to get what they rightly deserve.
This section is aimed at helping you to navigate the system and learn advocacy tools to help your child to succeed. Although many of the listings here are regional, similar services do exist in other regions of the country. The key is knowing what is available, what to ask for and how to ask for it!
