Join us for a three-hour training/workshop on trauma-informed agency audits provided by MCEDSV. In the first half of the workshop, trainers will give an abbreviated overview presented in previous trainings on historical trauma, intersectionality, and workplace trauma.

Please watch Neurobiology of Trauma Part 1 and Part 2 (available in the free section) before this training, as only an overview will be included. This training will consist of recommendations for developing individualized self-assessments for your agency and services based on best practices for TIC and rooted in client-centered, trauma-informed, and intersectional philosophy. Trainers will dive into where we are today, how close we are to best practices, and how achievable best practices are.

The second half will assist participants in developing their own usable agency audit to assess the current state of reality, where the agency would like to go and operationalize steps to get there. It will include both process and outcome evaluation steps and examples and explain how to know where you are and when you’ve reached TIC.

Participants will understand how to administer the assessment, correctly interpret the results, and what to do with the responses. Participants will leave with ideas on engaging with staff around the WHY of Trauma Informed Care agency audit and practical, incremental steps of forward movement.
