The May 19th CTIPP CAN call will address a critical question that many organizations are increasingly asking themselves - "How do we determine where on the spectrum my organization sits in regard to becoming fully trauma-informed, and what more can we be doing to become trauma-informed?" Our presenters are experts who have developed or are applying different tools for evaluating and providing answers to these questions.

May 19th, 2-3:30pm ET/11am-12:30pm PT - How to Determine if Your Organization is Trauma-Informed

This month, we have an expert panel from various backgrounds. Mimi Graham will provide an overview of the topic and give some background for participants on the call. From there, we will jump into presentations by our four main speakers.

• Marsha Morgan from Resilience Builders will share about the Trauma-Informed Culture Assessment (TICA) tool. TICA is an online employee-based assessment that measures where an organization is based on the Missouri Model continuum of trauma-aware, trauma-sensitive, trauma-responsive, and trauma-informed. TICA incorporates the basic principles of safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration and empowerment, and came out of a need for organizations to evaluate whether or not they were curating a trauma-informed working environment for their employees.

• Steve Kauffman from Widener University will present on the TISAS model. The TISAS model, developed by faculty at Widener University, uses an online instrument that gathers data from multiple organizational constituents, aggregates those data by program, and reports out a series of indices based upon SAMHSA TIC concepts. These indices may be used by the program for the identification of current TIC strengths and needs, training needs, comparisons of change over time to assess "progress", and for describing larger systemic adherence to TIC.

• Steve Brown from Klingberg Family Services will talk to us about the Attitudes Related to Trauma-Informed Care (ARTIC) scale.  The ARTIC Scale, developed by the Traumatic Stress Institute and Tulane University, is one of the first psychometrically validated measures of trauma-informed care. It measures professional attitudes favorable or less favorable toward TIC providing an overall score and scores on seven subscales. Since 2016, it has had over 50,000 administrations globally and will soon be translated into 11 languages. It is available in paper form or via an automated online platform enabling organizations and systems to administer the tool online and get dashboard reports with resources and recommendations for the organization and individual staff.

• Laurie Schrecengost and Gerry Vassar from Lakeside will teach us about Creating PRESENCE. The Creating PRESENCE Organizational Trauma-Responsive Certification Model features the latest and most comprehensive research of Dr. Sandra Bloom. Creating PRESENCE uses trauma and adversity as a central organizing principle in how organizations shape their values and practices in response to human behavior. PRESENCE implementation uses a hybrid approach, depending largely on distance learning and web-based consultation in order to make this approach both cost effective and contextual. The organizational outcomes strive to help organizations become trauma-informed, trauma-responsive and trauma resilient.

We hope that you are able to join us for this fantastic call!
