Trauma-Informed Practice (TIP) Scales for DV Programs [Webinar]

Introducing the Trauma-Informed Practice (TIP) Scales for DV Programs

Thursday, June 11, 2015 | 2:00 – 3:30pm (CST)

Over the past 10 years, increasing numbers of DV/SA programs have been working to create accessible, culturally inclusive, DV- and trauma-informed (ACDVTI) services and organizations. This, in turn, has generated a need for tools that programs can use to assess the effectiveness of their efforts.

In this webinar, we will describe the development of a new tool to assess trauma-informed practice that DV programs can use to evaluate and improve their work. The TIP Scales assess six domains of trauma-informed practice, including Environment of Agency and Mutual Respect, Access to Information on Trauma, Opportunities for Connection, and Emphasis on Strengths, Cultural Responsiveness, and Inclusivity, and Support for Parenting.
