I am a Health Educator at a small health department in Lincoln County, Oregon. We formed a trauma informed care workgroup to start working toward how we can become a trauma informed health department.

I have been trying to look online to research other health departments that have started to work on this. I found San Francisco, and they have some great information on their process. However, we are a small health department, so my supervisor wanted me to also find an example that might more closely mirror ours.

Our stats: county population is approximately 47,000 and our health department consists of public health, behavioral health, and a federally qualified health center with approximately 120 employees.

Does anyone know of any good examples?

HI Erin- Great that you asked this question!  I want to be sure you know about the Becoming Trauma Informed and Beyond community - there are some good tools there.

I know a couple of other County health Depts (Yolo County and Sacramento Co) that have started down this path of being trauma informed and it might be cool if there was a space here on AC where you all could connect with each other, share successes, challenges, etc.  Maybe in the Becoming Trauma Informed and Beyond community... Would that be of interest/ useful?
