TIC Learning Collaborative

TIC Learning Collaborative is focused on creating a space to share and learn with clinicians, researchers, leaders, and staff. We aspire to:

1. Give those interested in TIC tangible, useful materials that help all those interacting with patients feel more confident, supported, educated and at ease when implementing TIC.
2. Discover new ways and modalities to educate on TIC.
3. Find ways to work together and across hospitals within MGB so that TIC education efforts are done in tandem, with cross sector support, in an interdisciplinary and collaborative manner.
4. Use a TIC approach to work together to achieve these goals, using the 6 principles of SAMHSA TIC as a guide for our work together (ie- trustworthy and transparent, decreased power differentials, peer support, empowering each other, understanding roles of culture, history and gender in creation of materials, actively seeking to ensure that we create a learning collaborative that fosters partnerships.
5. Explicitly bring a social and racial justice lens into the ways we provide materials, teach, advocate, conduct research and implement our goals.

In our efforts together we welcome opportunities to:

1. Develop metrics that measure the added benefits of trauma-informed care approaches.
2. Identify extramural and internal grants.
3. Work collaboratively to respond to request for proposals offering support in proposal development.
