The 7^th Biennial Trauma conference sponsored by the Center for Child and Family Traumatic Stress at Kennedy Krieger Institute aims to bring the voices of mental health providers together to examine how we conceptualize social justice within clinical practice, develop and expand confidence-building and advocacy skills and for employing practice approaches that support social equity and cultural democracy for those impacted by trauma across the lifespan.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Discuss the complexity of traumatic exposure to social injustice and recovery in children, adults, and families
• Describe effective trauma informed, evidence supported and contemporary interventions that can be used to incorporate a social justice lens in clinical and non clinical settings
• List specific confidence building and advocacy skills that can be used to address issues related to social justice and cultural democracy for those impacted by trauma
