The need to address trauma is increasingly viewed as an important component of effective service delivery. • A Texas trauma- informed system of care: • Protects the unprotected; • Has a respect for culture; • Is inclusive of family, youth and communities; • Is innovative and strives for excellence; • Has integrity in decision making; • Has compassion for all; • Is committed to reducing disproportionality; • Values staff; and • Collaborates to improve outcomes.

  8. Vision The Texas child welfare system will be one that is trauma- informed in which all persons working in and connected to the system are knowledgeable and responsive to the individualized impacts of trauma in the lives of people served and those serving within the system. This trauma informed system will incorporate the child's and family's story and the child's developmental level, while establishing an evidence-based approach to policies, training, leadership, and service practice. Mission Statement The mission of the Texas trauma- informed system of care is to protect children and act in the children's best interest. The Texas child welfare system seeks active involvement of parents and other family members. To this end, the Texas child welfare system is committed to establishing a trauma-informed system of care that promotes child safety, permanency and well-being; reduces the traumatic impact of child abuse, neglect, and removal; decreases traumatic experiences for children and their families; and complies with state and federal statutes. This system of care includes agency staff, judges, therapists, parents, foster and kinship families, residential contractors, child advocates, and STAR Health.

  9. Major Goals: The goals of a Texas based trauma-informed system of care are: 1. To implement a trauma- informed system of care that reduces the impact of abuse, neglect, and removal on children, youth and families. 2. To build capacity related to the use of trauma- informed principles and practices through collaboration and partnerships with other systems serving children and families involved in CPS. 3. To increase the use of trauma- informed activities by using data to assess implementation efforts and monitor change. 4. To foster an environment that promotes wellness and care for staff and caregivers experiencing secondary traumatic stress. Four subgroups • Trauma Informed Assessment/Tools • Trauma Informed Training • Trauma Informed Caregiver Support • Trauma Informed Staff Support
