Day 2 wrapped up the Trauma-Informed Summit with powerful learning, reflection, and inspiration. 🚀

We started the morning with the healing power of rhythm and drumming before diving into sessions on resilient leadership, felt safety, developmental trauma, student voice, and creating healthier workplace cultures.

The Summit closed with an unforgettable keynote from Derek Clark, who shared his journey through childhood trauma, foster care, resilience, and redemption, reminding attendees that healing, hope, and transformation are possible even in the face of adversity. 🌟

Thank you to everyone who joined us to learn, connect, and continue advancing trauma-informed practices across Ohio. 🤝

Day 1 of the Trauma-Informed Summit is in the books! 👏

We started the morning with connection over breakfast before Dr. Benjamin Miller challenged attendees to rethink what effective, accessible mental health care should look like today.

From there, the day was packed with conversations on belonging, trauma-informed leadership, burnout prevention, resilience, workplace wellness, and community healing, giving attendees practical tools they can bring back to their teams and organizations immediately.

We closed the evening with networking, reflection, and fun activities that reminded us trauma-informed work also means making space for joy and connection. 🤝

Exciting momentum is building across Ohio’s college campuses! 🎓Ohio Reach is expanding in 2026 with nine new campus designations, signaling a deeper, growing commitment to supporting students with foster care experience.

“Students with foster care experience succeed when campuses are prepared to support them,” said our CEO, Mark Mecum. “Ohio Reach helps create those opportunities for success, and it’s encouraging to see nine more institutions deepen their commitment to this work in 2026.”

We’re proud to see this network continue to grow and open more doors for students across the state.🌟
