Strengthening the infrastructure of public health systems around trauma-informed principles is crucial to addressing the needs of traumatized children in the child welfare system. In fact, many local and state initiatives have focused on large-scale evaluation studies to determine the value of training direct service staff on trauma foundations. Less yet is known about the benefits of training leaders on trauma foundations, which is crucial given their unique influence on implementation decisions. The current study evaluates a trauma training delivered to leadership-level stakeholders through a large-scale training initiative for the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services. Findings indicated that leaders improved in trauma knowledge from baseline to post-training and reported changes in their professional wellbeing and leadership approach after the reflective training component. The leadership trauma program may have positive downstream implications for direct service staff, organizational culture, and child and family outcomes.
