    Wisconsin's Continuum of Trauma-Informed Care

    The Trauma-Informed Care action team recommends using the framework below to guide organizations in TIC transformation.  See a complete description of the framework, along with resources for specific agencies and sectors, here: WI Continuum and Wisconsin Resources.

    ​Trauma Aware
    		Trauma Sensitive​Trauma Responsive​Trauma Informed​
    ​Organizations become aware of how prevalent trauma is and begin to consider that trauma might impact their clientele and staff.Organizations scan the environment for the principles of trauma-informed care (safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness, empowerment); build consensus around the principles; consider the implications of adopting the principles; and prepare for change.
    		Organizations highlight the role that trauma and resilience play in people's lives. Staff changes routines and organizational infrastructure.​Organizations make trauma-responsive practices the norm. The trauma model is embedded and no longer depends on a few leaders. The organization works with other partners to strengthen collaboration around being trauma- informed. ​
