Trauma-Informed, Trauma-Sensitive

Health care systems, schools, child protection agencies and other such organizations can develop approaches that recognize the role of trauma in their clients’ and staff members’ lives. They can work to build trust, provide supportive relationships and work with clients as partners in healing. A trauma-informed or trauma-sensitive agency asks: “What happened to you?” rather than “What’s wrong with you?”
