Deadline for proposal submission: Mon, February 13, 2023, 3pm EST

NOTE: Carefully read the Summit Goals and instructions below, then to begin your Proposal Submission, click the SUBMIT button below.

The Ohio Departments of Mental Health and Addiction Services (Ohio MHAS), Developmental Disabilities (DODD), and Ohio Department of Education (ODE) are accepting proposals for the 10th Annual Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) Summit scheduled for May 16 and 17, 2023.

We are excited to announce that we will be coming together for a live, in-person event @ the Hilton Columbus Polaris, 8700 Lyra Drive, Columbus, Ohio.

The purpose of the 10th Annual TIC Summit is to move our systems from beyond being trauma informed to providing trauma responsive and competent care, services, and supports. When our care, services, and supports are trauma responsive and competent, the people we support and serve build resilience and are able to heal and recover.

We all recognize that there are a variety of pathways to building resilience, healing, and recovery. Furthermore, the healing journey is one that is specific to and focused on the individual needs of each person, family, organization, and community. As we enhance and deepen our understanding of the pathways, that can lead a person, family, organization, and community to healing and recovery, we can better improve and progress in providing trauma responsive and competent care, services, and supports that build resilience.

10th Annual TIC Summit Goal:
This year our goal is to advance knowledge of how to incorporate trauma responsive and competent care within the context of the person-served systems and move toward healing and recovery through the application of trauma responsive and competent care, services, and supports that build resilience. It is our hope that we will enhance Ohio's response to individual and collective trauma together.
