We Put Trauma-informed Theory into Practice

Wellpoint Care Network has been at the forefront of the Trauma Informed Care (TIC) movement for more than 15 years. We’re proud of our trauma-informed history and our many contributions to the field, especially the Seven Essential Ingredients (7ei) framework that’s become the foundation of everything we do.

Our experienced and compassionate Trainers and Consultants are highly-trained experts in some of the world’s best trauma-informed practice models. They’ve contributed to TIC research, and have deep experience in child welfare, clinical, school-based and law-enforcement settings. This team knows the science of trauma, as well as how to put theories into action.

Trauma Informed Care is Better Care.

Something else that makes our TIC team tick? Empathy. With decades of combined experience in direct care and practice, we will help you recognize the far-reaching impact of trauma on a person’s development and equip you with practical tips and skills to help them overcome trauma-related related barriers.

We can also teach you how to recognize and overcome inherent systemic biases so you can make true connections with the people you serve. It all starts with a simple shift in perspective: stop asking “What’s wrong with you?” and start asking “What happened to you, and how can I help?”
