General Resources for
Community Caregivers

It takes courage to care for the safety and health of our community, but it also takes support and resources. Here are a few resources available to you.

Trauma-Informed Training

One of our goals at the Trauma Healing Center is to create a standardized level of care in the Kansas City area for working with trauma. This doesn't mean we all use the same approach, but it does mean our community as a whole approaches individuals who are healing and recovery with a consistent level of care and understanding. To this end, we have developed a Safe Harbor program are offering support and free trauma-informed trainings for you and your staff! We can prepare your organization to recognize signs of trauma, respond well to trauma survivors, and implement short-term and long-term interventions for these individuals and families.

Visit our Safe Harbor page or contact our director Melissa Finger for more information: melissaf@traumahealingcenterkc.com
