Building Sustainable Resilience in Organizations, Communities, Families, and Individuals: Trauma and Resilience-Responsive Care

Introduction

​What: Trauma informed to Trauma Responsiveness – Organizations translating, adapting & optimizing change: From the janitor to the CEO.

Trauma Informed Care (TIC) is an approach, based on knowledge of the impact of trauma, aimed at ensuring environments and services are welcoming and engaging for service recipients and staff.
 
Benefits – TIC provides a strengths based framework (cultural shift) that is grounded in an understanding of and responsiveness to the impact of trauma, that emphasizes physical, psychological, and emotional safety for both providers and survivors, and that creates opportunities for survivors to rebuild a sense of control and empowerment.”
(Hopper, Bassuk, & Olivet, 2010)
 
Realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understand potential paths for recover;
Recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system;
Responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices; and seeks to actively resist re-traumatizing. SAMHSA 2012
 
Trauma Specific Services (TSS) are programs, interventions, and therapeutic services aimed at treating the symptoms or conditions resulting from a traumatizing event(s). Such as Trauma Focused Therapy
 
While many organizations are trauma-informed, becoming trauma-responsive means looking at every aspect of an organization's programming, environment, language, and values and involving all staff in better serving clients who have experienced trauma. Gain knowledge of stress, adversity, and trauma.
