Trauma Responsive Schools Theory of Change Toolkit: Version Two, National Edition 

The Trauma Responsive Schools Theory of Change Toolkit is designed to guide users to develop a plan and to organize efforts to meet evidence-based practice standards in creating trauma responsive schools. The toolkit integrates knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices. Throughout, it aims to avoid re-traumatization. The toolkit provides an action-oriented guide for school administrators, staff, and teachers, along with community systems that serve children, youth, and families. 

The Mountain Plains Mental Health Technology Transfer Center edited and contributed to this product, ensuring the original product (developed at a state level) was appropriate for a broader, national audience.
