“…Consequently, it is not only useless it is contraindicated to respond to these intense behavioral expressions of emotions with task oriented demands (Cimmarusti & Gamero, 2009). Barking out commands to "do this," "do that," or "knock it off" without any attempt to accomplish the preferred interventions described previously, will only fuel the emotional fire and provide a clear target for the discharge of the disturbing emotions.…”

Youths in residential care have likely experienced trauma as they have had atypical and disruptive events occur in their lives that has contributed to their out-of-home placement. For people who have been traumatized, the regulation of emotions is an important feature of their recovery. This article presents a model that traces phases from emotional dysregulation to increased regulation. Specific clinical descriptions of the youths are provided for each of the proposed phases. Youth care staff preferred treatment strategies are also identified that both facilitate emotional regulation and compliment the ongoing treatment.

“…Evidence also suggests it is a cost effective approach for agencies (Domino et al, 2005), possibly due to the pervasiveness and overlapping relationship between trauma, mental health, and substance abuse. Neglecting trauma can lead to re-traumatization and poorer treatment outcomes (Barton, Johnson, & Price, 2009;Cocozza et al, 2005) while recognizing its influence affirms and invites the voice of the consumer as a valuable element in treatment (Cimmarusti & Gamero, 2009). …”

Objective: In this organizational case study the authors pilot a new protocol for evaluating and developing trauma-informed care in behavioral health settings. Methods: A mixed methods design was used to collect data with three instruments: the Adverse Childhood Experiences, the Consumer Perceptions of Care, and the Community Readiness Model key informant interview. Adults (N = 138) in a behavioral health residential treatment program provided a consumer perspective on trauma and integrated services. Providing the staff perspective, key informant interviews of staff (N = 7) were conducted and the overall protocol's utility was assessed. Results: Results indicate the protocol is an efficient, strength-based, and culturally sensitive assessment approach that provided valuable data about the agency's prevalence of consumer trauma, level of integrated trauma-informed services, and readiness to advance a trauma-informed organizational culture. The piloted protocol also fostered understanding of trauma-informed care principles among staff and improved awareness of how to enhance the level of trauma-informed services at their agency. Conclusions: In addition to providing assessment data, the protocol helped agency staff and leadership to fully engage and mobilize toward change. Further application of this tool and future research are discussed. (Journal of Dual Diagnosis, 7:228-241, 2011)
