The Manitoba Trauma Information and Education Centre (MTIEC) was established in 2011 by the Province of Manitoba. The MTIEC is a program of Klinic Community Health Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The creation of the MTIEC was a community initiative lead by the Manitoba Trauma Collaborative and was a direct result of a provincial forum on trauma that took place in 2007. The goal of the provincial forum was to develop a strategy for enhancing the capacity of organizations and systems to better meet the needs of people who had been affected by trauma.
