Defining Trauma: Give Us Your Feedback
SAMHSA is now seeking input from the public on the concept paper, SAMHSA's Working Definition of Trauma and Principles and Guidance for a Trauma-Informed Approach.
For ease of review, the paper is divided into three sections:
- Definition of Trauma
- A Trauma-Informed Approach
- Guidelines for Implementing a Trauma-Informed Approach.
Each
section has a separate link and unique forum to provide comments and,
if you wish, to vote on comment offered by others. You have up to 10
votes to endorse other comments, and you may revise your votes
throughout the comment period.
The feedback forum
will be open beginning Monday, December 10, 2012, and ending at
midnight eastern time on Friday, December 21, 2012. This forum will
provide an open and transparent process for stakeholders to offer their
comments about the definitions, principles, and guidelines, and also
make suggestions for improvement.
Feedback
on the forum is an important part of the public dialogue on this issue.
Your feedback will be carefully considered in the shaping of the
definitions of trauma and trauma-informed approach, and the principles
and guidelines of a trauma-informed approach.
