Description

Trauma Informed Care is an organizational structure and treatment framework that involves understanding, recognizing, and responding to the effects of all types of trauma.

Trauma Informed Care also emphasizes physical, psychological and emotional safety for both consumers and providers and helps survivors build a sense of control and empowerment.
