TRACEs: Mapping the Trauma Footprint of Multi-Systems Youth Caregiving

TRACEs — Trauma and Relational Adversity in Caregiving Environments — is a structured, reality-based framework developed specifically for peer support practitioners. It gives non-clinical family support professionals a consistent, trauma-responsive way to assess what families are experiencing, language that centers lived experience and a process that holds space for hard truths without minimizing or reframing them.

This free virtual session is open to all Ohio Family Peer Supporters and the supervisors, managers, and program directors who work alongside them.

In this session, we'll cover:

• What TRACEs is and how it was developed

• How it's used in peer support practice — a real walkthrough

• What Ohio pilots look like and how your program can get involved

• Open Q&A, including the hard questions

Who should attend: Family Peer Supporters, Peer Support Supervisors, FSS Program Directors, and anyone exploring trauma-responsive tools for peer practice in Ohio.

Format: Virtual via Google Meet
