What is a trauma-
informed approach?
A trauma-informed treatment approach strives to understand individuals as a whole. It assumes that people are more likely to have a history of trauma than not. When trauma occurs, it affects a person’s sense of self, their sense of others, and their beliefs about the world.
Trauma-informed care shifts the focus from “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?” It offers the opportunity for our clients to engage more fully in their healing processes, develop a trusting relationship with their providers, and improve long-term health outcomes.
Our team adopts this approach by obtaining a complete picture of our clients’ life situations – past and present – in order to provide effective care with a healing orientation.
