Out of Home Trauma Informed Care
Hello everyone! Here are some interesting and helpful articles I came across while researching Trauma-Informed models, specifically for out of home situations.
This first article goes into changing the organizational culture of school systems in order to be more trauma-informed, trauma-aware, and trauma-sensitive. It explains the definitions of all of the above, as well as others including describing the "Sanctuary Model," and gives an example of a trauma-informed implementation tool.

This second article analyzes other reviews specifically on trauma-informed out of home care facilities. It proved more positive outcomes for children exposed to trauma-informed facilities compared to children who were not.

This last article I believe was the most interesting and important. It evaluates different components used in trauma-informed welfare systems and determines the effectiveness of them. Not only being introduced to different components, but learning how they are implemented and the positive, negative, or no effect from those components was very enlightening. I also think it was interesting for me because when dealing with the Child Welfare System, you are fully aware the child has already been exposed to at least one, but most likely multiple different ACE's in their short life, so the knowledge of how to take care of and help heal a child with that background is of the upmost importance.

Hope this helps!
