Trauma Responsive Care: Safe, Connected, and In Control

Ask yourself this question: What would you do if 90% of your clients and 64% of your workforce all needed the same thing?


Trauma creates bad outcomes for all areas of human services. And trauma doesn’t affect only your clients—it strikes your employees, too. The Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (ACEs) finds about 64% of the general population have experienced at least one potentially traumatizing event in childhood. Your organization doesn’t serve the general population—you serve people who, by definition, need support. No matter what human service business you’re in, your client trauma rates are significantly higher—maybe as high as 90 %.



So, how can your organization really be “mission-driven” if it misses a basic need of nearly all the people connected with you?



How can you solve this for both the people you support and for your workforce?



How can you improve quality, satisfaction and retention at the same time?
