Abstract: Implementing trauma-informed care in a special education environment serving youth from historically marginalized communities with high levels of exposure to potentially traumatic events (PTEs) requires a systematic tiered approach consistent with public health guidelines. Little is known about the implementation of this framework in special education settings where youth have significant emotional and behavioral difficulties. To address this need, a consultant-community partnership was forged between a hospital providing mental health services and a therapeutic day school that serves a special education cooperative. The current case study explores the design and implementation of a three-tiered model of trauma-informed care in a special education setting. This study will address the specific practices implemented at each tier, discuss successes and challenges, and summarize future directions for research, practice, and policy.
