A trauma-informed (TI) organization understands the impact of trauma and works to create a complete care environment that encourages healing and prevents re-traumatization. TI organizations develop policies, practices, and procedures that incorporate an understanding of trauma, consequences of trauma, and TI principles throughout their service delivery model and organizational structure.
This change package complements the National Health Care for the Homeless Council’s four-part component assessment tool and the TI Organizations (TIO) toolkit to provide practical guidance for organizations in developing a system wide TI understanding, which incorporates eight TI principles.
