SOMEBODY STOOD UP FOR ME, an all-day interactive Summit in Los Angeles on May 6, will gather an inspiring group of innovators, leaders, doers, and trailblazers to collaborate on the strategies and solutions that are meeting the challenges of childhood trauma and toxic stress in families, schools and communities.
Please join 100 creative thinkers who will exchange ideas and share their perspectives from health, education, justice and community-based organizations. Now is the time to build a roadmap that will advance clear policy goals and expand programs that assure trauma-informed services that will allow children to heal and thrive.
Who stood up for you? Throughout the day, we’ll hear from youth who will share their personal stories about the “Somebody” who helped them overcome obstacles and build resilience.
We look forward to seeing you!
