2021 Informational Exchanges:
What Does Trauma Have to Do With It? Everything: This presentation discusses how individual trauma results from an event, series of events, or set of circumstances, that is experienced by an individual as physically or emotionally harmful or life-threatening and has lasting adverse effects on the individual’s functioning and mental, physical, social, emotional, or spiritual well-being.
Peer Support. What a difference it makes: This presentation discusses how peer support workers are people who use their experience to help others in similar situations. Through shared understanding, respect, and mutual empowerment, peer workers support the healing of individuals in need. Whether in crisis, behavioral health, or criminal justice settings, peers play a valuable role in providing hope, encouragement, and support. This session will be presented by peer staff in crisis and forensic settings.
Diversion and Treatment: Why Focusing on Trauma Makes a Difference: This panel discussion addresses the value of using a trauma-responsive approach in both diversion initiatives and treatment inside detention and continuing in the community.
Trauma: Understanding the Mind, Body, Spirit Connection: This presentation discusses how as humans, we are a mind, body, and spirit people. These connections represent who we are as our most authentic and holistic selves. It’s important to understand trauma can sever those connections and any attempt at reconnecting and healing must begin from an interdependent approach. In this session, we will explore pathways to healing authentically and holistically.

TTI Social Marketing Materials:
To meet the goals of your Transformation Transfer Initiative (TTI), you will need to successfully engage and build partnerships with partner organizations and key audiences. With that in mind, NASMHPD has developed two TTI-specific social marketing materials to help TTI states succeed at these goals.
Building Successful Partnerships
- When building a partnership, it is important to take the time to understand the partner organization and the individuals that it is comprised of. In doing so, you will take on the partner’s perspective about the goals of your Transformation Transfer Initiative (TTI). What is standing in the way of the potential partner helping you achieve your TTI goals? What could the partner organization gain by helping you achieve your TTI goals? The steps of building successful partnerships that are outlined in this document will help you think through these key questions and others to build successful and lasting partnerships.
Audience Segmentation and Messaging Worksheet
- To successfully engage partner organizations and key audiences it is critical to consider who these individuals and organizations are and use this information to build lasting and effective partnerships. The process of building relationships and encouraging compliance about your TTI will be much more effective if you take the time to understand the audiences you are trying to reach. Use this worksheet to segment your audience and develop compelling messages.
