BecomeTrauma-Informed

Recognize and respond to the impact of traumatic stress on those who have contact with the system including children, caregivers, staff, and service providers. Programs and agencies sustain trauma awareness, knowledge, and skills in their organizational cultures, practices, and policies. They act to maximize physical and psychological safety, facilitate the recovery or adjustment of the child and family, and support their ability to thrive.

Adhere to the 4Rs

Realizing the widespread impact of trauma and pathways to recovery Recognizing trauma signs and symptoms Responding by integrating knowledge about trauma into all facets of the system Resisting re-traumatization of trauma-impacted individuals by decreasing the occurrence of unnecessary triggers (i.e., trauma and loss reminders) and by implementing trauma-informed policies, procedures, and practices.

Using character strengths

Teaching strengths in schools has been shown to increase achievement and well-being. All students, especially trauma-affected students, need opportunities to identify, recognize, practice, and use their character strengths, which include qualities like kindness, humor, creativity, and bravery.

Positive priming

Simple priming techniques to foster positive emotions such as contentment, pride, awe, and wonder in class. Brain breaks are one helpful technique.

Positive physical space

Positive relationships

Explore and promote prevention resources

Parents, grandparents, other caregivers, educators, grocery store clerks, pediatricians, social workers, coaches, librarians, faith leaders, police officers — all of us can play a role in preventing abuse or neglect from ever happening to begin with.

De-stigmatized Self-Referral Options

Make support services available. Provide options for self-referral that reduce stigma about mental health. Individuals are encouraged to connect with services when necessary. Service options are made available in the community to support privacy preferences.
