Offerings
Elizabeth has extensive experience presenting at local, state, and national conferences as well as providing training for groups seeking to understand how to implement and improve their trauma informed care (TIC) approach. Beginning with a harm reduction foundation, Elizabeth is committed to ensuring those with lived experience have a voice in the systems they are engaged with. In 2014, Elizabeth was selected to participate in the TransAtlantic Exchange Program and studied Psychologically Informed Environments (PIE) in London’s homeless system.
