Building Connections: Supporting the Readiness and Capacity of Community-Based Projects to Deliver a Trauma-Informed Intervention
Zuberi, Samar; Motz, Mary; Leslie, Margaret; Pepler, Debra J.
ZERO TO THREE, v39 n2 p21-26 Nov 2018
This article provides an overview of Building Connections, a national initiative in Canada to embed trauma-informed approaches into community-based projects, highlighting the components that indicate successful implementation. Building Connections uses a relationship-based approach (a) to support the readiness to engage in an intervention focused on interpersonal violence and (b) to motivate and maintain engagement of community-based projects throughout the initiative. Through modeling safety and reflection, Building Connections has supported community-based projects to implement trauma-informed frameworks into their clinical practice. With a combination of information, instruction, and support, staff members have become ambassadors of trauma-informed approaches, and this has led to a reach beyond the Building Connections intervention itself.
