Trauma Informed Care training for IHS staff and contracted personnel

The contract involves a one-year requirement to support the development of content for a new mandatory one-hour Trauma Informed Care training designed for Indian Health Service (IHS) staff and contracted personnel. This new training will replace the current two-hour course available in the HHS Learning Management System, which is presently tailored specifically to behavioral health providers. The updated training aims to broaden the audience by including a wider range of staff, while expanding the content to reflect cultural competency and agency trauma informed care policies more thoroughly. The vendor chosen for this contract must have strong expertise in these areas to ensure that the revised training is comprehensive and culturally appropriate. The contract is issued by the Indian Health Service with the NAICS code 611430, targeting educational services. It is currently in a forecast phase pending the receipt of evaluation data, which will guide the acquisition planning process. Key contacts include Tamara James as the Program Point of Contact and a Contracting Officer yet to be determined. The contract demonstrates a commitment to enhancing trauma informed care awareness and cultural sensitivity within IHS training programs, emphasizing the need to update and expand existing content to better serve a diverse healthcare workforce.
