About Us

Our Mission

Trauma Informed Care Advocates is dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment for teens who have experienced trauma. Our mission is to offer trauma-informed care and support to help teens heal and thrive. We prioritize outreach education, resource sharing, and community collaboration to address the unique needs of teen survivors.

Our approach stands out by focusing on creating programs based on the specific needs of teens identified through surveys, aligned with the six pillars of trauma-informed care. Through a combination of articles, videos, pictures, and testimonials, we aim to create a sense of seriousness while maintaining modern, relatable content to support teen survivors in their healing journey.
