Trauma-Informed Organizations (CTIPP CAN May 2021)

How to Determine if Your Organization is Trauma-Informed with Mimi Graham, Marsha Morgan, Steve Kauffman, Steve Brown, and Gerry Vassar


SUMMARY: The May 2021 CTIPP CAN call addressed a critical question that many organizations are increasingly asking themselves - "How do we determine where on the spectrum my organization sits in regard to becoming fully trauma-informed, and what more can we be doing to become trauma-informed?" Our presenters were experts who have developed or are applying different tools for evaluating and providing answers to these questions.
