Mental Health Matters (MHM) is hosting a global-themed art exhibit this semester to celebrate and acknowledge the vast intersectionalities in experiencing mental health across the globe. This event will be open to anyone, and it will be a celebratory arts event where performers, poets, actors and just any student can share words or a prepared presentation representing important takeaways or noteworthy lived experiences regarding mental health from a culturally informed lens. Dinner/refreshments will be provided, and after the performances, there will be space for attendees to decorate Luminaria bags in memory or in honor of loved ones who have had journeys with their mental health, and how their diverse experiences have differed due to their various cultural backgrounds.

Organizations that deliver direct or indirect support and services to the general population have emerged to attempt to be trauma-informed by making a commitment to change the culture of their organization. SAMHSA shares four areas that organizations that are committed to being trauma informed: realize the impact and recovery of trauma, recognize the signs and symptoms of someone impacted by trauma, respond to needs with policy, procedural and practice changes, and resist re-traumatizing actions and behaviors. Adopting a trauma-informed approach within an organization is beneficial to recipients of services as well as the staff, volunteers and partners of the entity.

Developing a trauma-informed culture includes intervention at the micro, mezzo and macro levels. Supporting organizational shifts includes a systematic process that includes engagement, assessment, targeting goals, plan development, implementation and evaluation. This workshop seeks to support organizations in adopting a trauma-informed culture.
