Core Competencies for Trauma-Informed Staff

This self-assessment for individuals focuses on their knowledge, skills, and capacity (core competencies) around trauma. The tool also includes a section where organizations can assess the degree to which they are creating conditions in which the people they serve feel safe and comfortable, their privacy protected, and their individual needs accommodated. The ending section provides a Trauma-Informed Action Plan worksheet for staff and teams to use in creating their own needed actions and responsibilities.
