Our Partnership

At the Community Health Commission of Missouri (CHCM), we are proud to support Family Care Health Centers (FCHC) in their journey toward equity-centered, trauma-informed care (EC-TIC). This partnership underscores a shared commitment to fostering a workplace culture where healing, inclusion, and resilience are foundational—both for staff and the communities they serve.

A Multi-Phased Approach to Healing and Change

CHCM is collaborating with FCHC across a phased engagement that emphasizes education, training, and long-term planning for sustainable change:

  • Phase 1: Our team conducted site visits to both FCHC locations and reviewed staff feedback using validated tools like the ARTIC (Attitudes Related to Trauma-Informed Care) survey and the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), laying the groundwork for tailored support and actionable insights.
  • Phase 2: We provide up to 20 hours of coaching and responsive training, covering essential topics such as trauma awareness training, community empowerment workshops, leadership coaching, and practical tools for mitigating re-traumatization. These sessions can be customized for staff at all levels—from frontline care teams to executive leadership.
  • Phase 3: Through monthly planning meetings over five months, CHCM supports FCHC’s leadership in crafting long-term strategies that embed trauma-informed practices into everyday operations. Together, we explore innovative ways to boost employee well-being.

This phased approach ensures that Freeman Health has the tools and support it needs to succeed, becoming a trauma-informed healthcare system that inspires others across the state. 

Advancing a Culture of Healing and Belonging

This partnership reflects a growing understanding across the healthcare sector: staff well-being is not just a workforce issue—it’s a public health imperative. By investing in the resilience and healing of their teams, Family Care Health Centers is building a trauma-informed culture that models radical inclusivity and care.

If your healthcare organization is ready to prioritize employee wellness and explore how equity-centered, trauma-informed care can transform your workplace culture, reach out to CHCM to learn more about our training and consultation offerings.

The Power of Equity-Centered, Trauma-Informed Healthcare

Trauma is a widespread issue, impacting the way patients show up to clinic spaces and healthcare providers who experience it firsthand or vicariously. By addressing trauma at every level—through education, awareness, and policy changes—healthcare institutions like Family Care Health Centers can build supportive, empathetic, and resilient environments that foster healing for both patients and staff.

Implementing the Missouri Model for Equity-Centered, Trauma-Informed Healthcare provides a structured way to embed equity-centered, trauma-informed care into every aspect of the healthcare system, from patient interactions to organizational culture.
