Description: Trauma-informed care is a means of ensuring universal precaution for trauma which requires individuals, organizations, and systems to intentionally neutralize the environment and interactions for re-traumatization.

The presenters will provide an overview of the framework created by the Institute on Trauma and Trauma-Informed Care to help organizations plan for, implement, and sustain trauma-informed change in ways that ensure safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment, while also promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. Case examples from the presenters’ work with various organizations will also be highlighted throughout.
