Who is the Trauma-Informed Process poster for?
Trauma-Informed Process belongs to the Criminal Justice section rather than to a school year, because law & society is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning victimology can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Trauma-Informed Process poster?
Use it as a set of process principles, not as anything clinical. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Trauma-Informed Process belongs on the wall where that law & society work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with Trauma-Informed Process?

Is the Trauma-Informed Process poster free to download and print?
Yes. Trauma-Informed Process downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Criminal Justice section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
What size does the Trauma-Informed Process poster print at?
Trauma-Informed Process is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download.
