This engaging one-hour discussion will focus on trauma-informed care, healing, resilience, and the importance of supporting All Who Served and their families.

We are honored to welcome featured guest Dr. Elizabeth Meeker of the Trauma-Informed Network and Resource Center, with the conversation moderated by award-winning author, scholar, and advocate Dr. Lessie Branch, DVS Special Assistant for Community Engagement.

Healing does not happen in isolation. It happens when communities come together, listen to one another, and create spaces where people feel seen, supported, and empowered. Whether you are a Veteran, family member, caregiver, advocate, provider, or community partner, your voice and perspective matter.

Reserve your spot today and join this important statewide conversation on healing, resilience, and support for All Who Served. Thank you!
