It emphasizes creating a safe, supportive environment where individuals feel respected and empowered. This approach involves understanding trauma's impact, avoiding re-traumatization, and fostering trust. It encourages professionals to be sensitive to signs of trauma and to tailor their support accordingly, promoting healing and resilience. Overall, Trauma-Informed Care aims to improve interactions and outcomes by acknowledging the role of trauma in a person's life and responding with empathy and understanding.
