At its core, trauma-informed means shifting from asking: “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?” This approach is guided by five key principles: Safety – Ensuring physical and emotional safety for everyone involved. Trustworthiness & Transparency – Building trust through clear, consistent communication. Peer Support – Valuing lived experience and mutual support. Collaboration & Mutuality – Emphasizing shared power and decision-making. Empowerment, Voice, & Choice – Prioritizing individual strengths and encouraging autonomy. It also includes cultural, historical, and gender awareness, recognizing how different experiences shape trauma and healing. Why Use a Trauma-Informed Approach? Improves outcomes: Especially in healthcare, education, and public safety, it helps professionals engage more effectively with those who have experienced trauma. Builds trust and connection: Particularly important when working with vulnerable populations like first responders, survivors, or youth. Reduces harm: Prevents re-traumatization and promotes emotional and psychological safety. Strengthens organizations: Encourages healthier workplace culture, reduces burnout, and improves communication.
