The NYS TINRC aims to uplift the principles of trauma-informed care and create a place for learning, knowledge sharing, and resource and event promotion around trauma-informed work and wellness practices.
We envision a New York State where all people and their communities can attain wellness and resiliency, and systems have the tools to support healing from toxic stress and trauma.
The New York State Trauma-Informed Network and Resource Center promotes learning, growing and the deepening of knowledge. It creates and enhances partnerships, builds and supports communities and furthers the understanding of trauma, trauma-responsive practices, wellness and well-being.
The NYS TINRC fosters a welcoming space for everyone to feel physically and psychologically safe.
The NYS TINRC makes and communicates decisions transparently to help build and maintain relationships and trust among each other.
The NYS TINRC strives to make decisions through a supportive and collaborative process.
The NYS TINRC works to create space that promotes authentic and strength-based participation.
The NYS TINRC grows through its community to share and learn from each other’s experiences.
In 2016, the New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH) and Coordinated Care Services, Inc. (CCSI) convened trauma-informed care champions from around the state to connect and collaborate. After that extraordinary day, the message was clear: We can accelerate trauma-responsive practice change efforts by being better connected to one another.
In 2018, OMH provided funding to CCSI to develop and launch the NYS Trauma-Informed Network. In 2022, NYS OMH offered a competitive procurement that provides both increased funding and resources to support the expansion of the network to an enhanced network and resource center. CCSI is the current awardee for the project.
The NYS Trauma-Informed Network and Resource Center (NYS TINRC) provides opportunities to strengthen communication among individuals and agencies implementing trauma- informed practices. The design, content, and focus are influenced by cross-sector collaborations of Trauma-Informed leaders across New York.
Our collective vision is that the network will allow individuals and organizations to connect to one another, share training or event information, and easily obtain resources to become more trauma-responsive.
NYS TINRC supports all New Yorkers on the journey to becoming more trauma-informed and shapes and accelerates trauma-responsive activity across New York State.
NYS TINRC’s network and staff members aim to develop intentional spaces for diverse voices actively engaged in trauma-informed work through welcoming events and free resources. Each staff member at NYS TINRC is committed to ensuring that every voice is heard and elevated.
NYS TINRC’s Advisory Council guides and directs the network’s activities and priorities, including planning for quarterly and annual meetings. Each Advisory Council member is unwavering in their commitment to trauma-informed and equity-centered principles and practices, both personally and professionally. The Advisory Council also prioritizes creating space for collaboration and sharing stories and concepts that reflect the network’s mission, vision, and values.
For over 25 years, CCSI has partnered with organizations across NYS to provide specialized management services and implementation support to deliver innovative, high-quality behavioral health and human services resources.
