Training for Change: Transforming Systems To Be Trauma Informed, Culturally Responsive and Neuroscientifically Focused (April 2025)

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 61% of adults have had at least one adverse childhood experience. These traumatic experiences increase the risk for chronic physical and mental health conditions, sometimes leading to serious health and personal challenges.

Becoming a trauma-informed individual, organization, and society lowers stress levels and the risk of disease stress while supporting global well-being and promoting healing.

With this in mind, McLean Hospital’s Institute for Trauma-Informed Systems Change brings together the latest updates in neuroscience, trauma, and trauma-informed practices to offer training in trauma-informed practices and approaches, brain development, neuroscience of fear and trauma, and trauma-informed systems change.

These courses are ideal for individuals and organizations who want to implement trauma-informed systems change.
