A researcher from East Tennessee State University will investigate the effectiveness of TIC for reducing the effects of toxic stress among at-risk children and their caregivers. The project, “Building Strong Brains and Strong Families,” is funded by a $119,000 grant from the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services.

Trauma-informed care (TIC) emphasizes compassion and incorporates the belief that every person has value and should be treated with dignity, as well as the understanding that negative behaviors and other problems may be typical responses to past traumatic experiences.
