HeadsUp Presents: Trauma considerations for working on employment and education goals.

2. Examine the roles different providers can play in supporting each other’s work on goals specific to vocational and educational work including the interplay between clinical and community-based supports
3. Identify how employment and education support big-picture behavioral health recovery
