Last week, the Senate began hearings on a bipartisan effort to provide greater short-term or moderate-term stability to the health benefit exchanges. These exchanges depend upon federal subsidies to provide affordable health insurance to individuals who do not qualify for Medicaid or employer insurance. They also depend on the mandate that everyone must pay at least part of their health insurance if they have above Medicaid incomes.

3 Steps to Becoming a Trauma- and Gender-Responsive Organization
Thursday, Sept. 14, 2017
1:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time (1 hour)
With the increased awareness of the impact of trauma on people's lives, helping professionals are asking themselves, "What does this mean in my setting?" And although the language "trauma-informed" is common, program administrators and clinical directors are finding that implementing effective and integrated services in order to become "trauma-responsive" can be quite challenging.
Join Stephanie Covington, PhD and she guides you through the three necessary steps to becoming a more trauma-responsive organization: assessment, planning, and implementation.
Objectives:
- Defining trauma-informed, trauma-responsive and gender-responsive
- Conducting a self-assessment of the core elements of gender and trauma-responsive services
- Creating a guide team and implementation plan for next steps
- Developing a plan for training staff on evidence-based and promising practices
Taking these steps will help you better organize the process of moving from trauma-informed to trauma-responsive in order to make effective and integrated services a reality.

Earlier this week, I found a scrap of paper while cleaning that stopped me in my tracks. On it, I had written "take a year off" followed by a short list of commitments in my personal and professional life. The list included things I had entered into with excitement-like training other people in my profession and organizing community events-but didn't have the time or energy needed to continue...
