TICOMETER
The TICOMETER© measures the degree to which an organization is engaged in trauma-informed practices. It evaluates needs and progress in implementing trauma-informed care and ensuring its sustainability. It is the first psychometrically-validated instrument that measures the levels of trauma-informed care in health and human service organizations
Consisting of 35 items across five domains, the TICOMETER© assessment takes approximately 15 minutes for staff members to complete online and scores are available to the organization immediately. The five domains include:
- Building trauma-informed knowledge and skills
- Establishing trusting relationships
- Respecting service users
- Fostering trauma-informed service delivery
- Promoting trauma-informed policies and procedures
Using the TICOMETER© in less than 15 minutes, you can assess your organization's
- Level of trauma-informed care
- Staff training needs
- Implementation priorities
The C4 Innovations team is here to help organizations seeking assistance in interpreting and responding to TICOMETER© results through consultation, training, and technical assistance.
