The Trauma Informed Partnership, comprised of EDCO with the Community Foundation of Macon County, The Regional Office of Education, The Illinois Education Association, and Southern Illinois University School of Medicine will host global youth empowerment expert and acclaimed speaker, Josh Shipp.
Jill Reedy is the Assistant Superintendent of Schools for the Macon/Piatt Regional Office of Education as she says the four organizations brainstormed the idea of developing trauma-informed schools committed to changing culture, policy, and practices to ensure trusting relationships within schools and positive learning environments.
Shipp is a former at-risk foster kid turned youth advocate and is renowned for his documentary TV series.
Shipp will be giving his presentation this morning at Millikin University in the Commons Building from 8:30-10:30 a.m.
