TheTrauma-
Informed
Approach
“A program, organization, or system that is
trauma-informed:
realizes the widespread impact of trauma and
understands potential paths for recovery;
recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma
in clients, families, staff, and others involved
with the system; and
responds by fully integrating knowledge about
trauma into policies, procedures, and practices,
and seeks to actively resist re-traumatization”
http://store.samhsa.gov/shin/content/SMA14-4884/SMA14-4884.pdf
Becoming
Trauma-
Informed
Recognizes the signs and symptoms of
trauma
AddressesWHAT the library provides and
HOW the library provides it
Acknowledges the need to care for the
workforce
TheTrauma-
Informed
Approach
is an
Engagement
Tool
Critical for survivors but is also beneficial
for those without trauma history
Reach a large part of our service
population we may not be reaching
already
Every consideration is an opportunity for
either re-traumatization or healing
It’s a lot!
But you can do
it!
Stress can affect everyone
Being trauma-informed helps everyone
EVERY consideration we make is an
opportunity for re-traumatization or
healing.We may as well try to be healing!
Becoming trauma-informed is a process
and can feel like an uphill battle at times
Check out the training modules on the
extranet for more
