Abstract

Over the past 20 years, there has been growing interest in and study of the impact of trauma on the functioning of individuals. This research has created an awareness of the need for change in many organizations that provide a multitude of services to children, youths, adults, and families (DeCandia & Guarino, 2015). Many agencies identify themselves as trauma informed or as practicing trauma-informed care (TIC). This article by discusses the critical difference in organizations practicing trauma-informed care and implementing trauma-informed services.
