Applying Trauma-Informed Principles to a Social Work Practice Setting With Children and Families

Describe the agency setting. Is it public or private, non-profit or for-profit? Is the agency’s primary goal to serve trauma survivors? Approximately what percentage of clients would be defined as trauma survivors? Explain each of the 10 principles in detail and discuss if/how well the setting applies each principle. You may want to present this in table format with a brief narrative. What are your ideas for improving the principles that are not well implemented? Be specific about organizational, environmental, programmatic, and/or administrative changes that would need to be made. Address the barriers to creating trauma-informed services in this setting.
