TRISI

About First 5's Trauma- and Resiliency-Informed Systems Initiative

First 5 San Mateo County, with support from San Mateo County Health, is embarking on an initiative to transform service delivery for young children and their families. TRISI is a countywide effort to integrate a comprehensive commitment to address trauma and promote resiliency into our programs, structures, and culture.

Our long-term goal is to embed trauma- and resiliency-informed policies and practices at every level of the system. 

What is trauma?

Trauma refers to the effects of events or ongoing circumstances that are physically or emotionally harmful. For children, this can include abuse and neglect, as well as living in a household affected by substance abuse, mental illness, domestic violence or incarceration. 

Trauma can affect individuals, families, and communities immediately and long term, even over generations. It can have particularly negative developmental impacts on children.

Trauma-Informed Organizational Assessment

Through the Trauma-Informed Organizational (TIO) Practices Assessment Tool, First 5 San Mateo is supporting partners to understand what a trauma-informed organization looks like and to assess their organization’s current stage. 

Sign up to assess your agency:

If you are interested in using the Trauma-Informed Organizational Practices Assessment Tool at your agency, please sign up below to receive an assessment link. Please only fill out one form per agency. The primary contact for the agency assessment process should complete this form.

Interested in Participating in the TIO Cohorts and Organizational Coaching?

For agencies who intend to complete the Trauma Informed Organizational (TIO) Practices Assessment Tool, First 5 San Mateo County is offering additional support to organizations on the journey to become more trauma-informed through a TIO Cohort and Organizational Coaching opportunity led by Hamai Consulting and Trauma Transformed. The Expression of Interest form is due by April 11th, and submission of the form does not guarantee admission into the cohort.
