Assessment tool for trauma-informed schools
Does anyone have a recommendation regarding an assessment tool/survey/questionnaire to helps schools identify needs, gaps etc. as a baseline and perhaps to use as part of an evaluation as they work on becoming trauma-informed? Your ideas and suggestions are greatly appreciated! Linda
