Measures of trauma-informed care characteristics

Hello - This website/page from SAMHSA might be helpful - not a checklist exactly but a good description of the principles of trauma informed practice.  I look forward to seeing what others might share!  Debbie

Hello Russell, You might be interested in the final report of a SAMHSA virtual conference I participated in on Promoting a Universal Approach to Recovery-Oriented Care in Hospitals and Medical Home Settings. http://brsstacs.center4si.com/...anelOY3EP2Report.pdf

I've also developed a brief trauma-informed approaches scale for a specific project, as well as a self-reflection assessment scale on trauma-informed approaches for peer-run programs.  While I'm not sure I'm allowed to share  these with a wide audience, if you email me at dpenney@ahpnet.com, I'd be happy to tell you more. I was also part of a group that developed a manual on Trauma-Informed Peer Support for Women (which, except for one gender-specific chapter, is really applicable to all people) http://ahpnet.com/AHPNet/media..._REVISED_10_2012.pdf

Plus, my colleague and I offer a 2-day training on trauma-informed peer support.

Feel free to take a look at the Standards of Practice for Trauma Informed Care that we developed in Oregon.  They are consistent with the SAMHSA guidance and with work that others are doing, including the National Council.  You can find them at http://traumainformedoregon.or...rauma-informed-care/

They  have been helpful to agencies trying to meet state policy guidelines for TIC>

Gee, once again, proving what a great place this is, some really good resources obtained -- even one that I didn't get previously when I asked about Standards of Practice 

So, great thanks to Dianne, Darby and Debbie

Nanmathi Manian, Senior Study Director of Westat, developed the attached chart which has Trauma Informed Care Program/Agency self assessment tools.  There are several that I think could serve as a checklist of sorts for your agency.

There's also this -- http://www.t2bayarea.org/resource/grid/index.html

Many thanks, Jane, again you prove you're a Godsend!

While none of those listed say: "Use this in Primary Care!" there're certainly a couple in various forms of health care, and thus a couple of valuable contacts for following up their thoughts on this, and I'll be doing so.

Best

Russell

PS: thanks especially for sending this on what may well be your Sunday!

Along with partners in primary care, we created a version of the Standards of Practice for health care settings.  It's not on our website yet as it is still in draft form, but we are using it with a couple of clinics.  If you email me at yatchmd@pdx.edu, I would be happy to send it to you in case you want to take a look.
