Heard It From a Youth Worker: 
"Eight out of ten Indiana school-aged children participate
in at least one organized activity outside of school,
such as sports, clubs, music, dance, language or other arts."

Ask IYI: What do Indiana children do when they're not in school?

Trauma Informed Care Survey

At this time, there are no reliable and valid measures of trauma-informed care. For this reason, we are working on an instrument to measure staff beliefs related to TIC. When finished, this could be used to measure such things as the extent to which a school or agency is trauma-informed or the outcome of trauma-informed change interventions. 

 

We need as many health and education professionals as possible to participate in a brief online survey. The online survey takes 20-30 minutes and has been approved by the Tulane University Institutional Review Board. After the study is over, four participants will be randomly selected to win a $25 giftcard to Barnes & Noble.
