“…Comprehensive efforts to include trauma-informed approaches for all who serve potentially traumatized youth is recommended by several major mental health and child-focused organizations, including SAMHSA and the National Child Traumatic Stress Network. Research has also shown the efficacy of trauma-informed practices in various child-serving systems, including schools (Crosby, Day, Baroni, & Somers, 2015;Day et al, 2015;Penner & Wallin, 2012), mental health youth residential programs (Hummer, Dollard, Robst, & Armstrong, 2010), child welfare (Conradi et al, 2011;Greeson et al, 2011;Griffin et al, 2011;Ko et al, 2008;Kramer, Sigel, Conners-Burrow, Savary, & Tempel, 2012), and juvenile probation (Maschi & Schwalbe, 2012).
