Journey from Trauma-Aware to Trauma-Informed Meeting Package

This meeting package is part of the Trauma-Informed Approach in Adolescent Health: Team Meeting Series. The meeting package includes a suggested agenda and resources to help you facilitate team conversations about the journey from trauma-aware to trauma-informed. These conversations will help identify program strengths and opportunities for improving the use of trauma-informed approaches.

While this meeting package is intended to be used in a group setting, team members could complete all or some activities independently (e.g., watching the video), depending on the team’s unique needs. 

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the journey from trauma-aware to trauma-informed
• Explore where a program, organization, and/or network is currently located on the journey
• Identify program, organization, and/or network strengths and opportunities for improvement
• Select at least one resource to learn more about or use in future meetings

To prepare for the meeting:

• Have a computer set up to view the meeting package and play the video for everyone to watch together. Or share during a virtual meeting.
• Make sure all team members have copies of the journey and checklist/discussion questions.
