Grace House, a supportive living home under the auspices of New Hope Transformation House Ministries Inc, is committed to providing an environment that is physically and emotionally safe for our women, their families, and our staff/volunteers. Being cognizant of trauma informed care and implementing it, is
about creating safety and trustworthiness within care practices, our physical/emotional environments, and daily interactions with residents, families and others. This is not only the right thing to do, but will also help engagement, retention, and outcomes (SAMHSA 2011).
