Trauma Informed Care And Practice

Implementing trauma-informed care into our service delivery means understanding the impacts of trauma on the individual – that trauma is a defining and organizing experience that forms in the core of an individual’s identity with far reaching impact which can often lead to one facing additional barriers in reaching their life goals(Harris & Fallot, 2001).

By incorporating this approach, we can better help individuals understand that recovery is possible - in order to allow them to flourish and reach their full potential.Presenter: Theresa Hirschberg | Founder of Sights on Solutions
