BoardCommunity Connections Self-Assessment and Planning Protocol
This document outlines a Self-Assessment and Planning Protocol for creating cultures of trauma-informed care in human service systems. It promotes organizational change built on five core values: safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment. The protocol provides clear guidelines for agencies to integrate an understanding of trauma into all aspects of service delivery, modify practices, and ensure staff and consumer well-being, with the goal of avoiding retraumatization and enhancing service effectiveness.
