“Trauma is a deeply distressing or disturbing experience that overwhelms an individual’s ability to cope, often leaving lasting impacts on their physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. To support individuals affected by these experiences, trauma-informed care (TIC) shifts the traditional paradigm of care from asking “What is wrong with you?” to compassionately asking “What happened to you?” This approach treats every person with universal precautions, assuming they may have a history of trauma, and actively designs environments that prevent re-traumatization while promoting safety, trust, and empowerment. For the general public, learning about TIC is essential; it cultivates widespread empathy, reduces societal stigma surrounding mental health, and equips everyday citizens with the awareness needed to build safer, more supportive communities where healing can thrive.
Please Join me on Thursday September 24th @ Noon to learn more!”
“Iowa PBS invites families to our Be My Neighbor Day celebration on Sunday, September 20, from 12 to 4 p.m. at the Iowa PBS studios in Johnston. Inspired by Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, this free community event is all about spreading kindness, building connections and celebrating what makes our neighborhoods special.
To support neighbors in need, attendees are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item for our food drive held in collaboration with the Food Bank of Iowa.
Friends of Iowa PBS members, please stop by the Iowa PBS tent and pick up a special thank you for your wonderful support.
To help make the day enjoyable for everyone, we’re asking guests to select an arrival time when you register. This helps us space out the crowd and ensure families have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the day.”
