Trauma-informed care (TIC) includes having an understanding that many of the people we come in contact with every day have probably experienced some level of trauma. The goal of TIC is to treat people in ways that create physical and emotional safety. It’s about giving people choice and control over decisions that affect them, so they can build feelings of control and empowerment. Anyone can provide TIC. It’s an overall way of working with people, not a specific set of techniques.
This module includes informative books, ebooks, journals, databases, videos, and more to assist you with learning and understanding more about the benefits of adopting trauma-informed care and approaches into practice.
