Trauma-Informed Approach

A trauma-informed approach is a way of understanding and interacting with people that recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and its potential effects on behavior and well-being. It involves creating safe, supportive environments that avoid re-traumatization, and emphasizes empathy, trust, and collaboration. This approach helps individuals feel respected, understood, and in control, fostering healing and resilience. It’s about being aware of the struggles people may be facing and adjusting responses to promote safety, empowerment, and recovery.
