A Trauma Informed Program, Organization Or System:● Realizes the widespread impact of trauma and
understands potential paths for recovery; ● Recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma
in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system;
● Responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices; and seeks to actively
● resist re-traumatization. Substance Abuse Mental Health Administration

Richly Reinforcing Pro-social Environments
22
Reduce Toxic Influences: when toxic stress response occurs continually or is triggered by multiple sources, it can have a cumulative toll on an individual’s physical and mental health. Safe environments are caring, inclusive, calm, person-centered, and culturally responsive.
To increase all kinds of cooperation, caring and effort we need families, workplaces, and neighborhoods filled with recognition, praise, rewards, hugs, positive attention, laughter, caring and interest.

Limiting Exposure to Problematic Behaviors: “Setting up for Success” Plan the setting, Explain and Post expectations, Stay calm, Offer alternate choices, Use a Positive frame.
Increase Psychological Flexibility the ability to adapt easily to change or Being able to Recognize and Adapt to the Demands of Different or New Situations
