Wisconsin Hawthorn Project
September 2018 - June 2020, with funding from the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families, Jessica Dallman MA LPC NCC developed and implemented a free Trauma-Informed Care Training and Curriculum for agencies and organizations that work with children and families in Wisconsin.
While state funding for the program has ended, NWC continues to provide the Wisconsin Hawthorn Project resources for free on the website. For our standard Mental Health Consulting rate, NWC provides similar, customized trainings to organizations seeking to address trauma, secondary trauma, and vicarious trauma among their team members, clientele, and system.

“Create something beautiful.
If you buy into the urgency and desperation of the scarcity model, what you create will surely replicate and perpetuate the cycle of trauma.
But if your creation includes your breath, and permission to move at a pace that is within human limitations, maybe, just maybe, you will create something that can interrupt that cycle.”
