Trauma-informed care is an approach that recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and aims to avoid re-traumatization. It understands that trauma can result from events that are experienced as physically or emotionally harmful and can have lasting adverse effects. Trauma-informed care realizes that adverse childhood experiences like abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction can be traumatic for children. The approach involves applying principles of safety, trustworthiness, peer support, collaboration, empowerment, and awareness of cultural stereotypes to policies and procedures. There are benefits to both patients and providers, including improved patient engagement, healthier relationships with providers, and reduced burnout among staff.
