Instructor's Edition - Tending the Roots: Recognizing Trauma & Cultivating Wellness Application

The New York State Trauma-Informed Network and Resource Center (TINRC) is comprised of individuals and organizations across New York State interested in advancing trauma-responsive practices.  Capacity building is a significant goal of the TINRC, and we are thrilled to offer the Tending the Roots: Recognizing Trauma & Cultivating Wellness curriculum to build foundational knowledge on the effects of stress, trauma, and adversity on health and well-being This curriculum will serve as a standard approach to training on Trauma Informed Care across the state, with multiple pathways for engaging.  Individuals and organizations are invited to attend training to acquire the foundational knowledge offered in the comprehensive curriculum.  Organizations can also send staff to participate in a train the trainer to create a sustainable training model. These trainers can then share this knowledge broadly across the state increasing the capacity of individuals and organizations to promote trauma-responsive, equity-focused practices that support holistic health across New York.

Vision 
All those that serve and interact with youth and adults will have the skills to create safe environments and deliver care with compassion and dignity through an equity driven, trauma-responsive approach.   
 
Purpose 
The primary purpose of this initiative is to increase trauma informed training capacity statewide by creating a network of available trainers and champions to increase awareness and effective response with respect to Trauma Informed Care (TIC) at the local and community level.  This will be accomplished by implementing a standardized trauma informed and equity-based fundamentals training that increases awareness, understanding, and effective response for staff across service sectors and age span. Central to trauma informed care is providing education to improve the well-being of New Yorkers by addressing the intersection of trauma, social determinants of health and inequities in care. 

Curriculum Goals

• Ensure a fundamental understanding of trauma, its prevalence, and effects.  
• Provide strategies and interventions to build effective and sustainable TIC practices and environments.  
• Develop an understanding of the intersection of trauma and oppression. 
• Promote strategies to address social determinants of health in order to reduce inequities and disparities at individual and systemic levels.
• Encourage organizations to build internal capacity that sustains trauma responsive care and the ability to train their workforce.   

Through the training of trainer experience, this project supports the dissemination of foundational concepts of trauma responsive and resilience informed care across service sectors and within communities to create trauma-informed systems of care.
