Organizational Consulting
Ian specializes in developing and integrating High-Quality Trauma informed Standards of Care that align with culturaly grounded practices and includes Required Organizational Practices (ROPs) for accreditation. His approach ensures organizations can effectively meet the needs of vulnerable populations while adhering to ethical and evidence-based care models.
The Importance of Trauma-Informed Practices
Research suggests that up to 90% of clients within mental health and addiction services have a history of untreated trauma. Organizations serving these populations must integrate trauma-sensitive practices at all levels of their operations. Many agencies struggle to move beyond training and fail to embed trauma-informed principles into everyday clinical practice and service delivery.
