2020 called upon us all to deeply scrutinize and reflect on how to transform our public health and public safety institutions. Though our work at Trauma Transformed began with commitments to transform how systems perpetuate trauma and oppression, the work towards systems transformation is now activated in real time. We all have a role to play in this transformational moment and we stand with all of you to mobilize collective actions toward this purpose.

In 2019, Trauma Transformed had the opportunity with several California organizations to contribute to recommendations for state-wide investments of the cannabis tax revenue as part of our community-led healing and policy efforts. The Recommendations Roadmap serves as a starting point for policy-makers, advocates, and community leaders as they consider and advocate for public policies related to advancing a culturally responsive, racially just, healing-centered and trauma-informed approach in the expenditure of public funding.

Trauma Transformed hosted the Fall 2017 Series exploring public health leadership at the crossroads of race, trauma, and system change. This series brought Dr. Kenneth V Hardy to the Bay Area for regional leadership sessions that hope to both compliment and build upon the RYSE Trauma and Healing Learning Series and the Racing ACES convenings led by RYSE Youth Center.
There is a growing buzz in the Bay Area around how to embed principles of trauma-informed systems and racial equity into our nonprofit, philanthropy, and public health practices.
Our health systems can inadvertently reinforce mechanisms of oppression and trauma OR they can build mechanisms of healing and liberation.
While there is a rising movement towards the latter, tensions continue to exist when systems adopt trauma-informed and equity principles against a backdrop of public health mandates focused on efficiency and managed care models. There is growing urgency on how to solve complex social problems, and its not always clear how to begin, measure, or lead these practices.
We began our Fall Series with how to deepen these conversations within ourselves and systems. We explored the readiness tasks and underlying principles to consider prior to having conversations about race, equity, and trauma in our systems. Check out the infographic “How to Talk Effectively About Race”, by Dr. Kenneth Hardy.
On September 14th and November 29, 2018 more than 300 Regional County and Organizational Leadership convened for day long session with Dr. Kenneth Hardy to explore our legacies and subsequent wounds of oppression and skills and commitments leaders can take to address and begin to put practices and policies into place that heal more and harm less.
