September 20, 2008: Conference participants agreed to set up a mailing list for ongoing networking, learning, and mutual support.  We extend an invitation to join a mailing list of people working on the topic of trauma healing across the world.  You can request to join the mailing list (http://groups.google.com/group/healingtrauma) by answering the following questions..  This information will be sent to the mailing list as a way of introducing new participants.  Profiles of existing members are available in the conference report.  The questions: 1. Name? 2. Organization?  3. Please write several sentences about yourself that you would like the other participants to know: professional and personal background.  4. Please write about the organization or group that you are involved with and their work.
