What is the Trauma-Informed Response and Why Is It Important?
Anyone, of any age, in any circumstance can be affected by crime, natural disaster, medical crisis--all events that are overwhelming and alter the course of life.
People whose lives are impacted by traumatic events work, live, worship, play and relate to others.
Knowing what makes an event traumatic, how trauma impacts people, and how to respond in ways that counteract the effect only makes sense.
That is the Trauma-Informed Response. In the workplace, personal relationships, faith communities, education and other environments it improves relationships, and strengthens health.
In the provision of physical and behavioral health care, with the specifics unique to those contexts, it is Trauma Informed Care.
