Meeting an important need, this is the first book to present a comprehensive framework for integrating trauma-informed principles into evaluation practice. It provides concepts and strategies applicable to any evaluation approach, from the initial project framing to surveys, interviews, analysis, and final reporting. The authors explain the neuroscience of trauma and show how using Trauma-Informed Evaluation and Research (TIER) practices can improve the quality of research while supporting healing, resilience, and posttraumatic growth in both participants and researchers. Grounded in SAMHSAâ??s Six Principles of Trauma-Informed Care, the book features compelling case studies from diverse practitioners; reflection questions; and practical tools, checklists, and templates for immediate implementation. Cultural responsiveness, equity, and restorative justice principles are woven throughout.
Industry Reviews
aEURoeTrauma-informed care has led to innovations in programs and practices, but guidance for conducting TIER has largely been lacking. This book fills a gap by offering clear, actionable instruction on applying TIER across settings where trauma-informed approaches are needed. The authors adopt a strengths-based perspective and address challenging issues with clarity and rigor. Case studies and reflection prompts make the content directly useful to practitioners, evaluators, and researchers.aEUR--Emily Adlin Bosk, LMSW, PhD, School of Social Work, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey; originator of the TIER framework aEURoeA comprehensive conceptual and methodological resource for evaluators and practitioners who work with populations that have experienced significant trauma. This book explains trauma-informed principles and applies them to evaluation scholarship and practice in a thoughtful, sensible way. It is written in a clear and engaging style. The illustrative examples span multiple types and contexts of trauma, which is a key strength of the book.aEUR--Rebecca Campbell, PhD, University Distinguished Professor of Psychology, Michigan State University -
