A transformative grant from Women Investing in Nebraska will allow the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Trauma-Capable Schools training program to expand into rural districts, broadening access to trauma-informed education across the state.
The $147,909 award was announced Oct. 9 during WIN’s annual awards ceremony in Lincoln.
