Leveraging Leadership in Child Welfare Systems: Large-scale Trauma- and Resilience-informed Training Initiative

Abstract

Strengthening the infrastructure of public health systems around trauma-informed principles is crucial to addressing the needs of traumatized children in the child welfare system.

The current study evaluates a trauma training delivered to leadership-level stakeholders through a large-scale training initiative for the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services. Findings indicated that leaders improved in trauma knowledge from baseline to post-training and reported changes in their professional wellbeing and leadership approach after the reflective training component.
