Trauma Skills - Developing a Trauma-Informed Operating Model in Aftercare for Child Welfare

Trauma Skills - Developing a Trauma-Informed Operating Model in Aftercare for Child Welfare In this project, a trauma-informed operational model will be developed for aftercare services in child protection within a wellbeing services county, using co-development methods that emphasize client participation and expert-by-experience knowledge. The project will create a work approach training program that supports the establishment of permanent trauma-informed practices and procedures. The implementation of the trauma-informed model will help prevent intergenerational disadvantage among aftercare clients and assist them in their transition to adulthood. By strengthening aftercare, the effectiveness of substitute care will be ensured. The model aims to improve not only the well-being of clients but also that of employees. Child protection work is one of the most mentally demanding areas in social services, where staff well-being and retention are under strain. When the sense of control and security in the workplace increases, it also enhances the sector's attractiveness and retention. The model will be expanded to the key ecosystems of support for young adults in order to reduce the fragmentation of services.
