Item 6
Strategies:
- Increase worker’s sense of competency and, therefore, reduce STS by providing education, training, and coaching on trauma and trauma-informed care. Leaders and supervisors can select the training topic most relevant for their staff and service populations, choosing from the links below. A good place to start is the “12 Core Concepts for Understanding Traumatic Stress Responses in Children and Families.” The fact sheet or interactive course could be shared during supervision or during a staff meeting with opportunities for discussion.
Implementation Resources:
