Building a Trauma Informed System of Care Toolkit

Building a Trauma Informed System of Care Collaboration and Action Steps

Benefits of Collaboration

Ease of Referral Depending on the type of services you regularly offer, it is probable that you will need to make referrals outside your organization. When your community has a trauma informed system of care, referrals become more seamless because partners know one another and regularly share about services available. Funding Application Strength Another benefit of collaboration can be experienced when an agency applies for funding. Typically, grants encourage partnerships and having those collaborators trained in trauma informed care will strengthen funding applications.
