Trauma-Informed Care
“Trauma-informed care is a strengths based framework that is grounded in an understanding of and responsiveness to the impact of trauma, that emphasizes physical, psychological, and emotional safety for both providers and survivors, and that creates opportunities for survivors to rebuild a sense of control and empowerment.” (Hopper, Bassuk, & Olivet, 2010)
Elements of Trauma-Informed Care
SAMHSA (2014) defines the elements of Trauma-Informed Care as
1) Promote understanding of symptoms from a strengths-based approach,
2) Minimize the risk of re-traumatizing the person and
3) Offer and identify supports that are trauma-informed.
Additionally, SAMHSA underscores the importance of instilling hope for recovery.
Trauma informed care (TIC) recognizes that traumatic experiences terrify, overwhelm, and violate the individual. Trauma informed care is a commitment not to repeat these experiences and, in whatever way possible, to restore a sense of safety, power, and self-worth.
Trauma Informed Oregon is a collaboration of university, public and private partners, individuals with lived experience, youth and family members that are committed to creating and sustaining a trauma informed system of care in Oregon.
