Trauma-Responsive Schools Implementation Assessment (TRS-IA)

The Trauma-Responsive Schools Implementation Assessment (TRS-IA) is a school-wide, evidence-informed quality improvement tool designed to help schools identify strengths and areas for growth in trauma-responsive practices. The TRS-IA generates a detailed feedback report highlighting school strengths and areas for growth across eight domains. This report serves as a catalyst for action planning, programming, and policy development, helping teams build school cultures rooted in safety, equity, and healing. Developed by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN), the Treatment and Services Adaptation Center for Resilience, Hope, and Wellness in Schools, and the National Center for School Mental Health, the TRS-IA supports schools in creating safer, more supportive environments for students impacted by trauma.

Getting People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities What They Need: a Plain-Language Guide

In plain language, this guide provides a helpful glossary of terms, background information and resources to help people with intellectual/developmental disabilities access what they need to lead healthy lives. People with IDD face many challenges to staying healthy, but they can still live good lives in the community with relationships, jobs, and responsibilities. Their disabilities don’t cause these challenges; a lack of support does. The World Health Organization says that helping people with disabilities stay healthy can’t be a “siloed activity” that just one group does. Instead, everyone must work together. School communities play an important part in getting youth with IDD what they need to be healthy and happy. Included in the guide are some government rules, resources, and recommendations to support good health and fair treatment for people with IDD.

Trevor Project 2024 National Youth Survey

The Trevor Project’s 2024 U.S. National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ+ Young People amplifies the experiences of more than 18,000 LGBTQ+ young people ages 13 to 24 across the United States.

For the sixth year, the U.S. National Survey uncovers the reality that there is a significant association between anti-LGBTQ+ victimization and disproportionately high rates of suicide risk — and that far too many young people struggle to access the mental health care they need.

The survey critically provides data-driven ways we can all show support and acceptance for the LGBTQ+ young people in our lives, based on their own responses — as well as the potentially life-saving benefits of creating affirming spaces and communities.
