Arc of Litchfield County, MidState Arc, and CCARC began their Risking Connection journey in late 2022 as a Learning Collaborative. TSI Director, Steve Brown, presented panels at two national conferences this fall about the TIC IDD Learning Collaborative work these three amazing Connecticut-based Arc organizations have done.
Representatives of all three agencies joined Steve on panels at the National Association of the Dually Diagnosed (NADD) conference in Tempe, AZ and the National Arc Conference in Columbus, OH. Both workshops were very well attended and showcased the groundbreaking work of these “early adopter” IDD agencies.
You can read more about their implementation process in our October 2023 blog post, entitled What Does Trauma-Informed Care Look Like in IDD Organizations? A Visual Tour.
Our thanks goes out to the panelists: Michael Menard from Arc of Litchfield County; Courtney Spector, Justin Eykelhoff and Sarah Barry of Midstate Arc; and Lisa Sabatini of CCARC.
