Creating a Trauma-Informed System of Care for Formerly Incarcerated Dads

Record Description
This Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation report reviews how fatherhood programs serving previously incarcerated low-income fathers can incorporate a trauma-informed system of care into their program design. Trauma-specific services are important for fathers as they reconnect with their families upon release, since their past experience with trauma may challenge them. The report also examines the approaches that fatherhood programs use to identify and assess fathers who could benefit from a trauma-informed system of care, as well as available resources for implementing trauma-informed approaches.
