Description:
Part 2 in our series on Trauma-Informed Care examines what it takes to become a trauma-informed organization. Leaders at all levels of an organization must be willing to lead staff into a “profound cultural shift in which individuals served and their conditions and behaviors are viewed differently, staff respond differently and the day-to-day delivery of services is conducted differently.” How to provide trauma-informed care is explored by identifying characteristics of such systems and areas of operation that need to be addressed. Finally outcomes from some available trauma-informed models are presented.
