About Trauma-Informed Utah

Built on six years of dedicated work by partners across Utah, Trauma-Informed Utah (TIU) was formally established as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization in May 2021. TIU is dedicated to improving the well-being of current and future generations of Utah families by incorporating new knowledge on mitigating trauma and its impacts, strengthening those providing it, and growing community resilience.

Mission

To transform Utah into a fully trauma-informed state with organizations and communities that realize the widespread impact of trauma and foster community resilience while strengthening the ability of Utah’s workforce to grow and thrive.

Vision
