The Trauma-Informed Practice (TIP) Guide and TIP Organizational Checklist are intended to support the translation of trauma-informed principles into practice. Included are concrete strategies to guide the professional work of practitioners assisting clients with mental health and substance use (MHSU) concerns in British Columbia.
The TIP Guide is designed to inform the work of health system planners and practitioners working with adults and youth with substance use and mental health concerns. The TIP Guide may also be useful to other professionals such as primary healthcare providers, hospital emergency departments, first responders and those working with families in the child welfare system.
