The NY Trauma-Informed Coalition is dedicated to learning and sharing knowledge

on the latest research and developments in the subject of trauma, as well as

understanding how trauma manifests and affects our communities. Armed with

this knowledge, the NY Trauma-Informed Coalition will work to prevent and

mitigate the effects of trauma within New York City and New York State by:

1. Working with like-minded organizations and individuals to raise awareness

about trauma and its devastating effects on and in our communities and systems

(prison, courts, social services, etc.)

2. Celebrating and highlighting best practices adopted within the state and

3. (when appropriate) Encouraging active collaboration and participation in best

practice initiatives within the community. By taking an active role in raising

awareness about trauma and promoting best practices, the NY Trauma-Informed

Coalition would like to encourage significant and enduring change in our systems

and communities’ approaches to trauma. Ultimately, we would like New York to

be a trauma-informed state.
