Trauma-Informed Care Training
Trauma-Informed Care Training
Trauma-informed care is a service delivery approach focused on an understanding of and responsiveness to the impact of trauma. It promotes positive outcomes by emphasizing physical, psychological, and emotional safety and enhances wellbeing by empowering individuals to define their needs and goals and make choices about their care and services.
Trauma-informed care is a universal framework that any organization can implement to build a culture that acknowledges and anticipates that many people we serve or interact with have histories of trauma and that the environment and interpersonal interactions within an organization can exacerbate the physical, mental, and behavioral manifestations of trauma. Trauma-informed care requires that all staff are trained to be aware of trauma and avoid processes and practices that may re-traumatize survivors.
