Welcome to Rebuilding Our Community After a Collective Trauma Through Kindness, Connection, and Grace!

We are BACK! Welcome to the 9th Annual Harford County Trauma Conference and first conference post COVID. We are extremely excited to be back in person and want to thank all the organizations and individuals who came together to make this conference possible! We would especially like to thank our Platinum Sponsors: APGFCU, The Arc Northern Chesapeake Region, Arrow Children and Family Ministries, Harford County Department of Social Services, and UMUCH/Klein Family Crisis Center.

The Harford County Trauma Institute's goal is to increase knowledge regarding the impact of trauma on our community and to provide and develop skills and resources for professionals, caregivers, and community members as it relates to trauma-informed care. This ultimately translates into improved functioning of our community and more opportunities/access to treatment. The Harford County Trauma Institute strives to make Maryland a trauma-informed community through education and partnerships.

Thank you for participating in and supporting the Harford County Trauma Institute's 9th Annual Conference. We hope you enjoy the day!
