Taking a Public Health approach to trauma requires many elements such as creating greater awareness, actively committing to prevention approaches, investing in early interventions, reducing stigma and most importantly; working in partnership and developing a shared approach. Cork City is leading the way as the first City in Ireland to recognise the benefits to the whole population in becoming trauma aware. Dr Anne Sheahan – Area Director of Public Health (Cork & Kerry) 3.1.2 Tier 2: Trauma Champions It is now proposed that partner agencies/organisations will identify Trauma Champions . Trauma champions will help facilitate the creation of trauma-sensitive approaches in their agencies/organisations. The role of the trauma champion is intended to promote and ensure a consistent approach is taken within agencies/ organisations when responding to trauma. There will be a programme of support for all trauma champions as they take forward this essential work in their organisation. Champions are expected to attend and participate in all components of the learning collaborative, have the ability to implement changes in their agencies, and will have the ability to train and coach other staff. 3.1.3 Tier 3: Strategic Planning and Organisational change using a Trauma lens Kpleayndnrinivgeirnscflourdseu: ccessful implementation of Trauma-informed organisational change and strategic 1) Governance and leadership 3) the physical environment; and 2) Policy development 4) Cross Sector Collaboration For the purposes of developing this strategy, we have adopted SAMHSA’s published guidance (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 2014) which outlines more da ne tda fi rl eodmi mmpolde eml se no ft at tr iaounmdao- mi n af oi nr ms , ed dr apwr an cbt iocteh (fFraolml o tt,hMe aorrkgoafnf ,i s&a tRi oe ne da l, 2c h0 a0n5g; eH mu aannga, geet ma le. ,n2t 0l i1t e2r; aFtaul rl oe t & Harris, 2006).
