Trauma Informed Care Initiative —
Why Become a Trauma-Informed Agency :
“ A program , organization , or system that is trauma-informed realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for healing ; recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in staff , clients , and others involved with the system ; and responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies , procedures , practices , and settings .” ( SAMHSA , 2013 ).
As a part of our Person-Centered Supervision model and our strategic plan of becoming a Trauma-Informed agency , 1765 DCS staff have been trained in Trauma-Informed care through this agency initiative .
