The Vicarious Trauma—Organizational Readiness Guide (VT–ORG) is the starting point for organizations that want to become vicarious trauma-informed and proactively address the impact of exposure to the trauma experiences of others. Use it to assess your agency's current capacity as a vicarious trauma-informed organization, identify strengths and gaps, and prioritize your needs. Then, use it to locate resources in the toolkit that will help you take important next steps to address gaps.

Select a discipline—victim services, EMS, fire services, or law enforcement—to explore the VTT and access the appropriate VT–ORG for your agency.

The Compendium of Resources contains over 500 tools that organizations can use to become more vicarious trauma-informed, including resources from the field, such as policies, procedures, practices, and programs; research literature on issues such as prevalence, impact, risk factors, and intervention studies; new tools for the field; and links to websites, podcasts, and videos.

The VTT also includes a Glossary of Terms as well as a Bibliography of research articles in the items in the Compendium of Resources.
