PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WJHG\/WECP) – The Northwest Florida Health Network held its fifth annual Gentracon conference at FSU Panama City. This year, they raised awareness of generational trauma.<\/p>\n
Four speakers attended the conference, who were clinicians and educators aiming to inform the community on how trauma is carried across generations and how those cycles can be broken.<\/p>\n
They hoped to transmit hope and resiliency to the over 350 in-person attendees and others attending virtually, letting them know that breaking generational trauma is possible when communities, systems, and relationships work together. <\/p>\n
The organization also has faith-based resources<\/a> such as Chrome Ministries, the Pearl Project, and different churches.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are building our community, right, and every individual in our community has the ability to affect it for the positive or for the negative, and if we don\u2019t get people to a point where they can understand the trauma and their experiences impact the way they interact with their families, their communities, and themselves, we\u2019ll never bring any transformational change,\u201d said Sonya King, Director of Quality and Professional Development, NWFL Health Network.<\/p>\n Nearly 40 different organizations, like Life-Management Center and Pancare, provided resources for people in need at the event.<\/p>\n More information on NWF Health Network and Gentracon can be found here.<\/a><\/p>\n To stay up to date on all the latest news as it develops, follow WJHG on Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a> and X<\/a> (Twitter<\/a>).<\/p>\n Have a news tip or see an error that needs correction?
