ABOUT
ESTABLISHING CONNECTIONS
​
Macy Tillman, LCSW, LSCSW, TCTSY-F and Jennifer Rinne, LCSW are two clinically licensed social workers in the state of Missouri. Macy is also clinically licensed in Kansas. We have a combined 28 years of experience working with individuals, families and groups who have been impacted by trauma. Through that experience we have observed the need for a center that can provide all-inclusive, trauma-informed mental health services. Trauma services in Kansas City are fragmented into sexual violence providers, domestic violence providers, child abuse & neglect services, veterans services, etc.

CONNECTIONS THAT MATTER
HEALING CONNECTIONS
​
Our dream is to establish a comprehensive healing center in the urban core, where community members can easily access trauma services. Trauma Connections was created from this dream. Our mission is to help facilitate the healing process after trauma, by reconnecting the body and mind, through trauma-informed education, crisis intervention, and therapeutic services that will assist in the healing of trauma across the lifespan.
We hope to help create a trauma-informed community that can respond to trauma in a more effective manner.

​
CONNECTING A COMMUNITY​
​
Our goals are to become community experts in treating emotional trauma, to educate the community and private sector about trauma-informed care, to increase access to trauma-informed services for all, to connect community members with the tools they need to facilitate healing, to gather evidence to support and validate our services, and to help facilitate community healing.
