Empowering Leaders to Lead with Compassion
itipcares was founded on a simple belief: when leaders understand trauma, everyone benefits. We\'re building tools and training to help organizational leaders create psychologically safe environments where people can thrive.
Our Mission
To equip organizational leaders across all sectors—corporate, church, first responder, and community—with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to integrate trauma-informed care principles into their daily leadership. We believe that when leaders respond with understanding rather than reaction, they can transform their organizations and the lives of those they serve.
What is Trauma-Informed Care?
Understanding Trauma
Trauma is any experience that overwhelms a person\'s ability to cope. It\'s not about the event itself, but how the person experiences it. 70% of adults have experienced at least one traumatic event, which means trauma is present in every workplace, congregation, and community.
A Different Approach
Trauma-informed care shifts our question from "What\'s wrong with you?" to "What happened to you?" This simple reframe changes how we interpret behavior, respond to challenges, and create policies—leading to better outcomes for everyone.
Our Values
Compassion First
We believe every person's story matters. Our approach centers on understanding, not judgment.
Practical Application
Theory is important, but application is essential. We focus on what works in real-world leadership.
Accessible to All
Trauma-informed care shouldn't require clinical training. We make these principles accessible to every leader.
Evidence-Based
Our methods are grounded in research and developed in partnership with mental health professionals.
