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) was created to help school personnel better recognize and respond to the impact of trauma on students.

T R I S 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.

It is funded by a generous behavioral health grant from the Blue and You Foundation.
