What Does a Trauma-Informed Program Look Like?

Social or human service programs in the nonprofit sector are spaces for people to achieve their goals and reach their potential. In order for this to happen, the people we serve need to feel SAFE, WELCOME, and KNOWN. Since trauma is so common in our society, it is crucial that all programs consider the impact of trauma and actively work to avoid re-traumatization. This interactive workshop provides foundational understanding of trauma and its sources, while also highlighting the impacts that unrecognized trauma may have on those we serve, staff, programs, and communities. Participants will learn key indicators of trauma-informed programs and will review an assessment tool that will support making programmatic changes to meet the needs of people who may have experienced trauma.

In this workshop, participants will be able to:

1) Recognize and respond to the impacts of trauma within the program environment

2) Identify key domains and indicators for trauma-informed programming

3) Reflect and assess areas for improvement within your programs

This workshop will be led by Elizabeth Speck.

Sponsored by Nonprofit Coordinating Committee of New York and Mental Health Association of New York City.
