Join us to learn about the data that describes the state of vulnerable children in Oregon and Central Oregon, how the system could provide better outcomes, how trauma impacts children's lives and how all community members can help. Whether you have children or rarely interact with them, there is a role for all of us to play. Presenters will included representatives from the Oregon Department of Human Services, local non-profits and perspectives on childhood trauma.
