Trauma-informed approaches - A resource for leaders

An organisational approach works best to embed trauma-informed approaches into practice. However, what kaimahi do every day can make a difference. When a trauma-informed approach is implemented across an organisation, it means all kaimahi act in ways that minimise the possibility of causing further trauma.
Leadership support and commitment is needed to implement and sustain trauma-informed practice and organisation culture change. This is crucial to complement workforce training and development of trauma-informed approaches.

Trauma-informed approaches - A resource for leaders will support leaders to plan, implement, and sustain an organisation-wide trauma-informed approach.

The resource identifies:

• why such an approach within services is important
• key points on what a trauma-informed approach is
• an evidence-based process on how to implement
• a readiness-to-implement checklist
• further resources and information.

This resource can be used along with the resource, Being trauma-informed: Principles and actions.
