“Engaging leadership is the holy grail of being able to sustain and promote a healing organization.”- Ken Epstein, PhD, LCSW, Former Director, Child, Youth and Family System of Care San Francisco Department of Public Health
Becoming a trauma-informed organization requires clear communication about the transformation process, and support from staff at all levels of an organization. Often these efforts are spearheaded by “trauma-informed care champions”— individuals committed to raising awareness regarding the health effects of trauma and toxic stress and improving care for people who have experienced trauma.
This week (Dec. 3-7), the Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) invites you to recognize people around you who are trauma-informed care champions. Nominate someone via Twitter using #TICchampion, and learn about other champions across the nation by following @CHCShealth.
See trauma-informed care champions in action in our new video, “Trauma Informed Care Champions: From Treaters to Healers.”
