Dr. Tiffany Anderson is
presenting nationally on topics focused on health and wellness and on closing
achievement gaps. This month she was invited by the Kellogg Foundation to train
their board and Battle Creek, MI educators on practices she has used to lead
trauma informed initiatives in her past and in Topeka. Following the training,
TPS staff are in the process of submitting a grant to Kellogg for funding for
early childhood programs and expanding early childhood family health services.
Today, Dr. Anderson has joined leading researchers and authors to present on
intervention services in schools. While some TPS educators are training this
week at KU on tiered intervention strategies, others are in Utah, being trained
at a conference on equity. Staff members are also recruiting teachers while at
the conference. The link to the conference can be viewed here:

their annual conference focused on mental and behavioral health support
services for students at the annual Trauma Sensitive Schools Team Summit where
Dr. Anderson will serve as the keynote. To learn more about Trauma Sensitive Schools through Truman Medical's
