A free virtual intro to TRACEs — the trauma-responsive framework built for Ohio Family Support Professionals
TRACEs — Trauma and Relational Adversity in Caregiving Environments — is a structured, reality-based framework developed specifically for peer support practitioners. It gives non-clinical family support professionals a consistent, trauma-responsive way to assess what families are experiencing, language that centers lived experience and a process that holds space for hard truths without minimizing or reframing them.
This free virtual session is open to all Ohio Family Peer Supporters and the supervisors, managers, and program directors who work alongside them.
In this session, we'll cover:
What TRACEs is and how it was developed
How it's used in peer support practice — a real walkthrough
What Ohio pilots look like and how your program can get involved
Open Q&A, including the hard questions
Who should attend: Family Peer Supporters, Peer Support Supervisors, FSS Program Directors, and anyone exploring trauma-responsive tools for peer practice in Ohio.
Format: Virtual via Google Meet
Cost: Free
Host: Leah Buzek, Founder & Executive Director, IncuBrighter

Strategic Planning With IncuBrighter
Strategic planning doesn't have to take months or cost thousands. IncuBrighter's facilitated strategic planning sessions bring your team together for a structured, participatory process that surfaces your priorities, grounds them in your real context, and produces a plan your people can actually own and execute.
“Leah did a great job of taking our ideas and putting them into a plan that was easy to follow. She allowed us to share our ideas but also stay on track which is not easy with a large group. For a new organization, the thought of doing a strategic plan was overwhelming but we were pleasantly surprised with how easy it was thanks to Leah.”
