TIC (Trauma-Informed Care)

Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) is an approach used by healthcare and social service providers that recognizes how past traumatic experiences can affect a person's current mental, emotional, and physical well-being. It involves creating a safe, respectful environment that avoids re-traumatization and actively acknowledges individuals' histories. TIC focuses on understanding, trust, empowerment, and collaboration, tailoring support to meet people’s unique needs. This approach helps individuals feel more secure and respected, promoting better engagement and healing, especially for those who have experienced trauma or adversity.
