Trauma Informed Biographical Timelines

A conversation-based framework designed to develop a shared understanding of a person's current situation in the context of their life experiences (trauma and resilience) and to organize meaningful action based on this understanding. TIBTs can help teams build empathy, get on the same page, and build resilience in youth and families. Answers the questions as a team: Who is this person? What does he/she need? What will it take to meet those needs?

The Multisystem Team Facilitator works to engage the family to create a team of people most important to them.
