Arkansas Trauma Resource Initiative for Schools

Arkansas Trauma Resource Initiative for Schools Arkansas children are exposed to substantially high levels of trauma. This places them at an increased risk for mental and behavioral problems.

The Arkansas Trauma Resource Initiative for Schools (T R I S)
provides training and resources to school personnel of K-12 schools in Arkansas to recognize & respond to the impact of trauma on students. The Arkansas Trauma Resource Initiative for Schools (TRIS) was created to help school personnel better recognize and respond to the impact of trauma on students. TRIS provides training, resources,

and other support to all school personnel across the state. The initiative is a collaboration between UAMS, the Arkansas Department of Education (A D E) and other key stakeholders and is is funded by a generous behavioral health grant from the Blue and You Foundation.
