I think I also want to reiterate that this is an ongoing lifelong thing. Like you don't just all of a sudden become trauma-informed. I've been doing it for ten years and there's still stuff I'm learning and it's still like it's like this constant. As long as you have a growth mindset and you're like, “Okay, I know this today, tomorrow I'm going to learn and apply.” And we all make mistakes. I was never perfect, and I'm still not at doing a trauma-informed thing. You just have to realize it's a process. Like today, attending here is a giant step forward and then you'll continue to learn and try to make an organization or group you work with. That's going to take time...this is not a race.
