Sample Trauma-Informed Policies

Rick,

Washington State and Massachusetts have statewide trauma-informed school policies.

Judge Steven Teske also addressed part of this matter in his Dec. 8, 2015  Juvenile Justice Information Exchange (JJIE) article: "States Should Mandate School-justice Partnership to End Violence Against Our Children".

On this same line of questioning, does anyone have samples of any organizational policies that include using trauma-informed practices?

Erin, I believe that with the new ACEsConnection.com webpage, there are archives and search functions you can use to locate sample trauma-informed organizational policies. Jane Stevens and/or other staff may be able to offer a tutorial on them. You might also try the National Center for PTSD Library at VA.gov, and there should be a search function on the library's main page.

Ok, thanks I'll check out the archives.

Rick, State ACEs Resolutions and Policies, by Elizabeth Prewitt, 3/16/2015, has copies of both the Massachusetts and Washington State policies, as well as a number from other states, and other supplementary information. If you go to the blue task bar atop ACEsConnection.com ("HOME...GROUPS...MEMBERS...etc.,) and hit "GROUPS" and scroll down to ACEs State Groups, and scroll down that to the title of Elizabeth's post, there are links to pdf. copies of the Mass. and Washington state policies.
