Implementation Starter Kit: The First 90 Days

A practical launch package for trauma-informed, human-centered implementation

The first 90 days set the foundation for everything that follows.

Starting something new in your organization - especially something as fundamental as trauma-informed practice - often means navigating competing priorities, unclear decision rights, and the very real risk of implementation drift before you've barely begun.

You know the work matters. You've seen the cost of burnout, turnover, and systems that weren't designed with people in mind. But between the urgency to act and the complexity of actually shifting how an organization operates, it's easy for good intentions to stall out in the first few months.

The Implementation Starter Kit is designed to help you move from intent to action without over-scoping. It's the first 90 days in a box - a guided launch package that helps you establish a point of contact, clarify decision rights, build a meeting cadence, and create ready-to-use communications. It's about creating the infrastructure you need to sustain momentum when the initial energy starts to fade.

And here’s the best part: this starter kit is only $49!

What You’ll Get:

Implementation Starter Kit: The First 90 Days

A practical workbook with worksheets, templates, and tools to guide your first 90 days - without over-scoping. Perfect for leaders coordinating trauma-informed implementation across healthcare, education, government, and social services."

Includes:

  • Purpose Statement Builder + Early Success Markers – Frame the work clearly and define what progress actually looks like

  • Capacity Map + Pause/Reduce Decision Framework – Identify constraints and make one explicit decision about what to stop or reduce to create space for this work

  • Point of Contact Role Clarifier + Decision Rights Template (RACI-lite) – Name who owns what and establish clear escalation pathways

  • 90-Day Plan Builder + Milestone Tracker – Build a realistic first sprint with owners, timelines, and evidence of completion

  • Decision Log Template – Document decisions weekly to reduce rework and repeated debates

  • Core Team Charter (Short Form) + Launch Pack – Set up your implementation team with clear roles, cadence, and conflict resolution practices

  • Communication Rhythm Planner + Copy/Paste Templates – Ready-to-use announcement email, FAQ, supervisor huddle script, feedback channel setup, training invitation, and partner brief

  • 90-Day Risk Pre-Mortem + Mitigation Planning – Identify likely barriers before they derail momentum

  • Quarterly Reflection Template – Structured agenda for your Day 90 review

Implementation doesn't fail because people don't care.

It stalls when decision rights are unclear, capacity isn't protected, communication is inconsistent, or scope expands faster than the team can manage it. The Starter Kit addresses these predictable friction points directly.

By Day 90, you'll have a documented decision log, a set of completed milestones with evidence, a functioning communication rhythm, and the clarity you need to decide what comes next. The work doesn't end at 90 days, but you'll have built the foundation that makes the next phase possible.
