Campaign for Trauma-Informed Policy and Practice – CTIPP is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to create a healthy, just, resilient, and trauma-informed society where all people have the social, political, cultural, economic, and spiritual opportunities and the supports necessary to thrive.
They have proposed a trauma-informed agenda for the first 100 days of the new administration with the long-term goal of creating a trauma-informed America. Certainly, this is needed now more than ever given the collective trauma we as a nation have been experiencing for months on end. Here is a glimpse of just one of the many reasons for this important agenda to be implemented:
there is a need for coherent leadership to create an integrated national plan for healing the widespread cross-cutting damage done by a combination of the pandemic and collective and historical trauma facing the US today. Large gains can be made with a strategic administrative plan for addressing trauma, stress, and adversity, even as the longer process of aligning legislative action continues.
