Trauma-Informed Practice

Trauma is an experience that overwhelms an individual’s emotional and psychological ability to cope and can result in lasting mental and physical effects.

Trauma-informed practice is a broad approach to service delivery that applies certain principles and practices to all clients, regardless of trauma disclosure. Everyone in a clinical setting can practice in a trauma-informed way, even if trauma-specific treatment is not within their role.
