The Institute on Trauma and Trauma-Informed Care
Trauma-informed care provides the framework for individuals, organizations and systems to engage in universal precautions for individual, historical and systemic trauma by using the values and principles of safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration and empowerment.
Providing research and training for organizations on trauma and trauma-informed care since 2012.
The UB School of Social Work’s Institute on Trauma and Trauma-Informed Care (ITTIC) helps organizations and individuals understand the effects of trauma and ensure that service systems do not retraumatize vulnerable populations.
