Trauma- Informed Communities
In a trauma-informed community, the service providers in the community (teachers, child welfare workers, police, medical professionals, etc.) are prepared to recognize and respond to those who have been impacted by traumatic stress. The goals are to: 1. foster a space for trauma and community healing 2. create communication strategies to build/repair relationships between families 3. equip community members with the tools to deal with stressful situations.
4. create an underlying culture of respect and support.
