MA BoS) ##### About this session Wednesday, September 18  |  4 - 5pm  |  Louie Room Can you think of someone in your community who has experienced trauma? Of course you can.  Can a single setting in Clarity Human Services reduce relived trauma?  Best practices around trauma-informed data collection rely on the assumption that the data collectors have control over what's asked. But for us, many data elements are required by funders. And yet there are strategies that support an HMIS infrastructure that is human-centered & trauma-informed. Join this session as we guide you to create a plan for system analysis & show you custom Clarity configurations that can improve data quality, client service engagement, outcomes, and more. Attendees will hear real world examples from one DV service provider who continues to enhance survivor experience in thier CoC!   - [** ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.bitfocus.com/clarity-connect-2024/collaboration-choice-safety&title=Collaboration,%20Choice,%20and%20Safety:%20HMIS%20Through%20A%20Trauma-Informed%20Lens%20(ft.%20MA%20BoS)&picture=https://www.bitfocus.com/hubfs/Optimizing-Coordinated-Entry_feature.jpeg&description=Clarity%20Connect%202024%20-%20Foundations%20Track%20Description) - [**](https://twitter.com/share?source=https://www.bitfocus.com/clarity-connect-2024/collaboration-choice-safety&text=Collaboration,%20Choice,%20and%20Safety:%20HMIS%20Through%20A%20Trauma-Informed%20Lens%20(ft.%20MA%20BoS)%20-%20https://www.bitfocus.com/clarity-connect-2024/collaboration-choice-safety) - [**](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.bitfocus.com/clarity-connect-2024/collaboration-choice-safety&title=Collaboration,%20Choice,%20and%20Safety:%20HMIS%20Through%20A%20Trauma-Informed%20Lens%20(ft.%20MA%20BoS)&summary=Clarity%20Connect%202024%20-%20Foundations%20Track%20Description) - ** - [** ](http://www.printfriendly.com/print?url=https://www.bitfocus.com/clarity-connect-2024/collaboration-choice-safety) ## Speakers ### Kelly Robson [Follow me on LinkedIn ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-robson-8a402335/) Sr. Project Administrator Bitfocus ![KellyRobson-1-1](https://www.bitfocus.com/hubfs/KellyRobson-1-1.png) Kelly Robson Sr. Project Administrator Bitfocus About Kelly Robson Kelly brings 18 years of experience in Nevada’s homeless and human services to her role as a Senior Project Administrator for the state of Nevada.
