Introduction:
Trauma–informed means that individuals and agencies are educated on the causes and effects of trauma and understand the potential to re-traumatize families and youth by providing services and interacting in a manner that is not sensitive to their experiences based on the trauma informed principles of: safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, empowerment, and language access and cultural competence.
Whereas, traditional service begins addressing “problem” behaviors by asking “What is wrong with this child and/or family?” a trauma-informed approach recognizes such behaviors as ways of coping with or adapting to painful current circumstances or stress related to past traumatic events. The trauma-informed initial question is: “What has happened to this child and/or family?”
The objectives to meet these goals are as follows:
- Participants will review the definition, signs and symptoms, prevalence and impact of trauma.
- Participants will be introduced to the 6 trauma informed principles
- Participants will create personal and agency visions on what change could look like
