UNDERSTANDING TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE IN THE TEXAS CHILD WELFARE SYSTEM

Texas CASA, in partnership with the Children’s Commission, Cenpatico, the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS), Texas Network of Youth Services and others, developed the Workforce Survey on Trauma-Informed Care within the Child Welfare System in Texas.This first-of-its-kind survey was distributed to child welfare stakeholders across the state to:

  1. Collect information on the trauma-informed care training and services available in Texas, and
  2. Gather feedback from the field on what is needed to make the system more trauma-informed.

Based on the survey results, Texas CASA has compiled our findings into a report that includes an analysis of the responses, plus recommendations from both the field and Texas CASA on how to create a more trauma-informed child welfare system.

Our hope is that stakeholders will use the results of this survey when considering policies that aim to give children a better opportunity to heal from trauma and the positive outcomes they deserve.
