The Trauma-Informed Approach

What It Is

A companion workbook for Trauma-Informed Care workshops developed by Beacon Community Impact and Notre Dame Neuroscience and Behavior

Description

Also known as “The Blue Book,” this workbook was created to support Trauma-Informed Care workshops developed in partnership between Beacon Community Impact and Notre Dame Neuroscience and Behavior.

Instead of using a traditional training model, the team gathered input through community focus groups. These conversations revealed gaps in understanding the neuroscience behind trauma-informed care and the strategies needed to support organizational change.

What It’s For

This workbook introduces the foundations of trauma-informed care and organizational change theory. It helps build a shared understanding of key concepts and supports communities working toward more informed and responsive systems.
