Our Principles
Understanding Trauma and Its Impact
Understanding traumatic stress, its impact on the school community, and that many behaviors are adaptive responses to trauma.
Promoting Safety
Establishing a safe physical, psychological, and emotional environment where basic needs are met, safety measures are in place, and people’s responses are consistent, predictable, and respectful.
Ensuring Cultural Competence
Understanding how cultural context influences perception of and response to traumatic events and the recovery process by respecting diversity, providing opportunities for cultural rituals, and respecting cultural backgrounds.
Supporting Resilience
Helping people build confidence and competence that will strengthen their sense of autonomy by outlining clear expectations, providing opportunities to participate in the creation of personal goals, and maintaining awareness and respect for basic human rights and freedoms.
Sharing Influence
Promoting democracy by sharing power and decision-making.
Integrating Systems
Maintaining a holistic view of the individual and the healing process, and facilitating communication within and among systems.
Building Relationships
Believing that establishing safe, authentic, and positive relationships can be corrective and restorative to survivors of trauma.
Instilling Hope
Instilling hope by providing opportunities for people to be involved at all levels of the system, facilitating peer support, by focusing on strength and resiliency, and establishing future-oriented goals.
