(Unit 1) Topic 8:  ACEs and Trauma-Informed Practices

Trauma Informed Practice

The prevention of ACEs extends far past the support that communities, individuals, and educators can give to families but these are building blocks to the bigger picture. 

​Topic 8 Page 16

Click here to take notes.

If we can create a societal structure that values people in all of their intricacies and provides resources and education about prevention for abuse, substance abuse, neglect, and more then we can begin moving toward a healthier and happier society. 
Think about your role as a caregiver, administrator, or trainer and what that entails. Your interactions with children and the people who care for children has great potential and can be harnessed to promote a positive trauma-informed practice. ​ 

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has outlined the four core concepts that make up a trauma informed approach to learning and care. ​ 
​The four concepts are:
“A program, organization, or system that is trauma-informed:
  1. Realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery;
  2. Recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system;
  3. Responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices; and
  4. Seeks to actively resist re-traumatization."

In addition to the four core concepts there are 6 key principles of trauma informed practice. Many of these concepts are already ingrained in effective caregivers and programs. These include:
  1. Safety
  2. Trustworthiness and transparency
  3. Peer support
  4. Collaboration and mutuality
  5. Empowerment, voice and choice
  6. Cultural, historical, and gender issues
