Building a More Trauma-Informed Community

The Quad Cities Area Trauma Informed Consortium (QCTIC) is a collaborative network of organizations, professionals, educators, healthcare providers, community leaders, and advocates working together to create a more trauma-informed community across the Quad Cities region.

QCTIC focuses on increasing awareness, strengthening partnerships, and promoting trauma-informed practices that support healing, resilience, and long-term well-being.

Trauma can impact individuals, families, workplaces, schools, and entire communities. By working together, we can create systems and environments that recognize the effects of trauma and respond with compassion, understanding, and support.
