We are forming a steering committee to coordinate a countywide trauma-informed network. The overarching goal of this effort is to prevent and heal trauma across systems and build resilience in children, families and communities. As such, I'm looking for some examples of roles and responsibilities and decision making processes that you would be wiling to share. Any leads or information would be greatly appreciated!

Please take a look at the Strategic plan for the Philadelphia ACE Task Force which includes information about our Steering Committee structure.

Thank you so much, Leslie - it is much appreciated! By any chance, would you be willing to share the task force decision making process (i.e., process used to approve things, make decisions, etc.)?
There are some sample steering committee meetings here, Angel, in the post about organizing a local ACEs initiative, in Growing Resilient Communities 2.0.
Thank you so much, Jane! I really appreciate it!
I would suggest looking at the program from Drs. Stephanie Covington and Sandra Bloom called Moving from Trauma-Informed to Trauma-Responsive. It provides program administrators and clinical directors with key resources needed to train staff and make organizational changes to become trauma-responsive, including understanding the concept and structure of a Guide Team. I've attached a sample for your reference and you can learn more at the link above. Please let me know if you have questions.
Thanks,
Alice
