Founded in 2009 and located within the Walnut Avenue Women’s Center, the California Center of Excellence for Trauma Informed Care promotes trauma-informed practices within California's social service sector. Through training and agency-specific consultation, the Center works with staff, boards, executive leadership, volunteers and consumers of social services to improve client outcomes and agency effectiveness. We work with agencies to develop policies and practices that respond to the needs of trauma-exposed clients by focusing on safety, coping, and designing practice to encourage trauma recovery. Current projects include developing a certification process for agencies to develop standards of care that promote trauma-informed practices. Agencies in Santa Cruz, San Diego, Santa Clara, and Los Angeles—among others—have been working with the Center toward a certification process that is realistic, humane, cost-effective and efficacious. Agencies interested in becoming a part of the certification development process can email the Center at gabbygrant@me.com. |
