trauma-sensitive care settings

Trauma-sensitive care settings prioritize the needs of individuals who have experienced trauma and aim to create a safe, supportive environment. This approach recognizes how trauma can affect a person's emotional and physical well-being. Staff in these settings are trained to understand trauma’s impact, promote trust, and foster empowerment. By minimizing triggers and encouraging a sense of control, these environments help individuals feel respected and comfortable, ultimately facilitating healing and recovery. This care model is widely used in healthcare, education, and social services to improve outcomes for those affected by traumatic experiences.
