With staggering rates of co-occurring substance use and trauma-related disorders in substance use treatment settings it is imperative that organizations and providers integrate a trauma-informed approach. While thorough assessment of trauma-related conditions and integrated treatment paths are a vital element of such an effort, so too are comprehensive considerations of the treatment environment, practices, and policies at large. This session will assume a general understanding of the potential impact of trauma exposures on human functioning, and build upon it with an overview of the elements of a trauma-informed approach to care and it's agency wide integration. Participants will gain skills related to self-assessment of trauma-informed practices and design initial plans for provider and/or organizational change
