The survey confirmed the effectiveness of our approach, with an average score of 2.72 out of 3 across all six trauma-informed practice areas, and provided a window for reflection around potential areas of improvement.

Anastasia
I came to the U.S. in the winter of 2006. Life back home in Mexico was tough for me and my family. I dreamt of going to college and graduating but with my family’s economic status, that dream was too costly and impossible.
