Trauma-Informed Forms

Hello,

I'm wondering if any mental health agencies have created and would be willing to share intake, screening, application or other forms that are trauma-informed/more user-friendly/less clinical 'jargony'.

Managed, state and federal healthcare forms tend to have certain requirements that dictate what information we need to gather, which is understandable, but I'm wondering if anyone has found some creative ways to gather this information while sounding more human to human and being more helpful to the service population.

Bonus points: Links to user-friendly community health agency websites or social media.

Thanks! -e

Hi Elizabeth! Great questions and I love how you are framing this around the experience of the person being served. Often this can be overlooked in our day to day work, so I am very pleased to read your question.

I wonder if the attached SAMHSA Treatment Improvement Protocol #57 (image below) may offer some answers to the issues you raised? And the SAMHSA website has great information and resources that may be useful too.

Please consider sharing your findings here - so we can all learn from one another! What you are sleuthing out is important!! Thanks, Karen
