Stages of
Trauma-Informed Implementation
Trauma-informed implementation is not a one-time training. It is a practical roadmap that builds shared language, daily routines, and internal capacity over time. These stages show how we help organizations move from intention to sustained practice.
Strategic Roadmap Development
We collaborate with your planning team to co-create a strategic roadmap and timeline. The roadmap clarifies priorities, sequencing, roles, and the indicators you will track over time.
Train All Staff
All staff receive practical, role-relevant training that translates trauma-informed principles into daily routines and interactions. The goal is consistency across teams, locations, and shifts.
Train-the-Trainer (sustainability)
Our Train the Trainer Program builds long-term capacity by developing a diverse Core Team of internal facilitators. This team helps sustain learning, onboard new staff, and scale implementation over time.
Assessment & Readiness
We start with an assessment of goals, culture, constraints, and readiness. This creates a shared understanding of what is needed and what success looks like before implementation begins.
Train Key Staff & Leaders
Leadership exists at every level. We equip key staff and leaders with shared language, practical tools, and supervision habits that support safety, trust, and accountability during change.
Coaching & Consulting (ongoing)
Coaching and consulting support leaders and implementation teams throughout the process. This ongoing support helps address recurring issues, strengthen teams, and remain steady during community crises or periods of organizational stress.
Refreshers & Boosters
Refreshers reinforce key tools and routines and help teams troubleshoot what is not working. Boosters keep momentum and consistency strong as priorities shift, staff change, or new challenges emerge.
Not every organization needs every stage at the same intensity. We tailor the sequence to your goals, capacity, and timeline.
The Cycle of Implementation
Implementation is a cycle. While there may be a clear beginning, sustainable trauma-informed systems are built through ongoing practice, feedback, and adjustment. Strong organizations continue to engage, embed, and embody trauma-informed values and norms while routinely evaluating what is working and refining what is not, based on staff and community feedback.
