Hello All,A Wisconsin tribe’s human service planning committee is considering embracing TIC as a way to reduce the problem of child abuse and neglect. In preparation, the group would like to learn from other tribes who have dedicated efforts to the integration of TIC (does not have to be in the service of reducing child abuse and neglect).I’d appreciate any information you all are able to share.Best,ElizabethElizabeth Hudson, LCSWTrauma-Informed Care Consultantsupporting the Wisconsin Dept. of Health Services1 W.

Thanks for those resources, Robert!
FYI, we have a page on Historical Trauma & Microaggressions you might want to be aware of.
I recently ran across some items about the Canadian Aboriginal Schools, at our (U.S.) National Center for PTSD Library (I live nearby). One was a 2003 report from the Solicitor General of Canada which included apologies to their Native People's from the four Canadian Protestant church groups which previously ran those "Aboriginal Schools". Another of the NCPTSD Library "Canadian Aboriginal School" publications bears a remarkable similarity to ITOW (In Their Own Words: [Maine] Trauma Survivors tell what helps and what hurts), and I found it quite enlightening.
