Trauma Informed Systems (TIS) 101 (Updated 2025)
Trauma Informed Systems TIS 101 (Updated 2025) is a foundational training to understand how trauma and stress impacts all our bodies and brains, communities, organizations and systems. The main topics that will be covered include: neurobiology of trauma and the effect on our bodies, strategies for self-regulation and co-regulation, historical trauma and cultural humility, and trauma informed communication strategies. This 4-hour training was developed for staff working in impacted systems of care, with the goal of moving those systems from being trauma-inducing to becoming healing organizations.
The training focuses on six trauma informed principles:
1.Understanding Trauma and Stress
2.Cultural Humility and Equity
3.Safety and Stability
4.Compassion and Dependability
5.Collaboration and Empowerment
6.Resilience and Recovery
By strengthening a shared understanding and language to address stress and trauma, we are better resourced to support healing individually, interpersonally, and collectively.
