CTISP-DI worked with five Supercommunities across the country to serve as communities of excellence and lead the transformation of public child welfare agencies into traumainformed systems within their respective jurisdictions. During the work with the Supercommunities, a significant need was identified for training, support, and strategies to approach STS within each of the 5 child welfare jurisdictions. After developing a workgroup and reviewing Florida’s Continuum of Care for the Child Welfare Professional: Prevention and Intervention Points with Corresponding Services for Vicarious Trauma, members of the workgroup suggested adapting this document, digging deeper, and providing research and practical examples for the concepts developed by the Florida Department of Children and Families. They focused on developing trauma-informed guidelines designed to assist child welfare organizations approach the impact of STS on staff, while acknowledging the limited resources currently available to support the implementation of ideas and strategies on an organizational level.en-USguidelinestrauma informedsecondary traumatic stresschild welfare servicesArticle
