trauma-informed organizations

Trauma-informed organizations are workplaces that recognize how past experiences of trauma can affect individuals’ behavior, well-being, and interactions. They prioritize creating a safe, supportive environment by understanding the impact of trauma, practicing empathy, and avoiding actions that might re-traumatize. These organizations focus on trust, collaboration, and empowering individuals, whether clients or staff, to foster healing and resilience. This approach benefits everyone by promoting health, safety, and respectful relationships within the organization.
