Moving from Trauma-Informed to Trauma-Responsive: A Training Program for Organizational Change

[Covington S. and Bloom, S. (2018). Center City, MN: Hazelden Publishing]

Although trauma is common among individuals experiencing co-occurring problems, professionals serving this population often struggle to provide care that effectively addresses the issue. While many organizations are trauma-informed, becoming trauma-responsive means looking at all aspects of an organization's programming, environment, language, and values and involving all staff to better serve clients who have experienced trauma. Moving from Trauma-Informed to Trauma-Responsive provides program administrators and clinical directors with some of the key resources needed to train staff and make organizational changes to become trauma responsive. This comprehensive training program involves all staff, to help ensure clients are served with a trauma-responsive approach. Developed by leading trauma experts Stephanie S. Covington, PhD, and Sandra L. Bloom, MD, this program is an excellent primer to assist organizations in becoming trauma-responsive.

Moving from Trauma-Informed to Trauma-Responsive includes:

3 hours of video and a USB Drive with resources that can be easily reproduced for training participants a facilitator guide with step-by-step instructions to assist facilitators in implementing the ten-step process of becoming trauma-responsive.
