• How do the mission and goals of your agency reflect an understanding of trauma?
  
• Describe individual and group level sources of traumatic stress for clients.
  
• How does the organization seek to acknowledge the impact of trauma on clients and clinicians, and what practices, if any, are put forward to address these impacts?
  
• In what ways do the practices and procedures within your organization reflect an awareness of diversity, difference, and/or structural inequities that shape clients’ experiences?
  
• What challenges do they experience in addressing these multiple layers of trauma?
  
• What steps can your organization take in implementing trauma-informed practices?
  
• Are there policies, either within your agency, or at the local, state or Federal level that are impacting the provision of services in your field setting?
