Assessing Trauma Informed Care in RHY Programs

All RHY, and particularly young people who live on the street, experience complex trauma that impacts their ability to trust others, self-regulate and benefit from available services. In this excerpted book chapter, authors describe several frameworks for implementing trauma informed care with adolescents, as well as a brief assessment tool that helps organizations identify weak points, and build capacity for providing trauma informed care. Direct input from RHY informs tips for quick, practical ways that providers can make services more accessible.
