Resources for Evaluating Trauma- and Violence-Informed Practice (2024)
This resource provides an overview of over twenty qualitative and quantitative evaluation tools designed to measure trauma-and violence-informed practices of individuals and /or organizations. These tools were meticulously selected through a comprehensive search of academic literature, grey literature, and websites. The literature search spanned from 2010 to 2023, and included websites that did not provide dates of publication. These tools have been specifically designed to support individuals and organizations in assessing trauma- and violence-informed (TVI) practices at various stages:
- Organizational readiness to become trauma-and violence-informed;
- Individual preparedness (staff, teams, etc.) to become trauma-and violence-informed;
- Individual performance utilizing trauma-and violence-informed practice and principles;
- Client perceptions of service received related to trauma-and violence-informed principles.
