What is Trauma Informed Care (TIC)?

It’s recognizing that people often have many different types of trauma in their lives. It’s about being non-judgmental and refraining from using critical language while staying neutral, and objective; It’s understanding that people who have been traumatized need support from those around them; It’s supporting and building self-efficacy, taking an empathetic stance and listening reflectively.

Why is Trauma Informed Care important in our work?

It provides strategies with the goal being minimal disruption to individuals lives and to prevent further traumatization; its about helping facilitate recovery and empowerment to individuals.
