Traumatic stress from such events as child abuse, homelessness or interpersonal violence can have life-long damaging effects on health, learning and social-development if it goes unaddressed. Advances in awareness and knowledge of the prevalence and impact of traumatic stress have led to a call to action by federal agencies, researchers and service providers to implement “trauma-informed care” across service systems. The growing consensus is that this approach can benefit children and youth, families and individuals, and civilians and veterans.
What is trauma-informed care? How is it different from trauma-specific services? How does it change the culture of organizations and service systems? What is needed to implement it? And, most important, what is its impact?
The American Institutes for Research is hosting a luncheon discussion to explore these questions. You are invited to join an expert panel for an interactive dialogue on how to bring trauma-informed care to scale across service systems.
