This month’s CTIPP CAN call will discuss why “traditional” community change models fall short and how trauma-informed engagement can build capacity and lasting change. We’ll pull wisdom and learnings from communities engaged with trauma-informed efforts and provide time for discussion, reflection, and networking.
In advance of the call, we invite you to explore our guide to trauma-informed community change.

- Our July 2024 CTIPP CAN call discussed how and why trauma-informed schools can help create healing spaces that engage their communities to counter the daily stresses that young people experience so that all students can reach their full potential. This is particularly important for students who learn differently, many of whom traditionally have been served in separate—and often unequal—special education classrooms.
- New commentary, Restoring Wholeness: Cultural Traumatic Reenactment and a Call for Collective Healing, presents considerations for realizing and recognizing how we have arrived at this juncture and also calls on advocates, activists, and partners in change to support transforming the vicious cycles that will endure without trauma-informed intervention into virtuous cycles.
- New commentary, Emerging Challenges in Trauma-Informed Policies Show Opportunities for Advocacy, explores pushback against trauma-informed public policy this legislative session and how the movement can use its collective voice to continue educating and advocating policymakers.
- Urge Congress to support the RISE from Trauma Act (S. 1426 and H.R. 4541), which would expand the trauma-informed workforce in schools, healthcare settings, social services, first responders, and the justice system and increase community resources to address the impact of trauma.
- Urge Congress to support the Community Mental Wellness and Resilience Act (S. 1452 and H.R. 3073), which would help communities proactively develop local strategies that build population-level resilience by planning for and responding to the mental health challenges caused by disasters and toxic stress.
- TOOLKIT: Free resources to help you urge Congress to support trauma-informed federal legislation.
- Know someone who is already advocating for trauma-informed policies and practices? Or would be an awesome addition to the movement? Encourage them to join CTIPP’s Community Advocacy Network today!

7 个月I'll be 'prepping' for surgery [again] that day. Thirty-plus years ago , 12 days into my in-hospital open-heart surgery recovery, I was told I had a 'PTSD reaction' and given 'Low-dose Mellaril' (which our US FDA hadn't listed a 'side-effect' that fortunately the Canadian 'equivalent agency' had: "Prolongs the QT Heart Rhythm". I was sent by ambulance to 'Saint Elsewhere" to have my heart rate reset, and returned to BU hospital to finish my recovery-which seemingly went well, with my [then] new titanium heart valve....
