Trauma-Informed Care. Trauma-informed care is defined by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) as: “A program, organization, or system that is trauma-informed realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery; recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system; and responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices, and seeks to actively resist re-traumatization.” (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2014) Trauma-informed care and trauma-informed approaches are critical to programs that unite behind the common purpose of avoiding retraumatization, building resilience, and giving youth the tools to regulate their emotions in order to become functioning adults. In the context of professional relationships with youth, professionals advocate that such systems (trauma-informed services) should be implemented in mental health, juvenile justice, child protective, and educational settings. (Xxxxx, 2006) Many organizations that provide these services (without a trauma-informed approach) utilize practices and create stress that risks retraumatizing individuals. (Xxxxx, Ein-Dor, & Xxxxxxx, 2012; Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, & Xxxx, 2005) SAMHSA and other institutions offer guiding principles that can be utilized in order to create trauma-informed environments. These principles have been identified through empirical and qualitative research. The model that XXXXXX espouses focuses on six generalizable principles that may be scalable to any agency, rather than focusing on a unique set of practices. This model was informed by systems currently operating under principles that are not best suited to the needs of traumatized individuals, exploring research and methods to overcome structural barriers to trauma-informed care. In order to improve systems, organizations should operate under principles of safety, trustworthiness, transparency, collaboration, and empowerment. This should also be inclusive of peer support models that account for cultural, historical, and gender issues/complexities. (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2014) Xxxxxx X.

Trauma-Informed Care. A key theme across the literature, including the Hemmings et al. (2016) review, is the need for a framework for providing care known as trauma-informed care. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, trauma-informed care: • Realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery; • recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system; • responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices; and • seeks to actively resist re-traumatization (SAMHSA, 2017). SAMHSA (2017) specifies that a trauma-informed approach include six principles of: “trustworthiness and transparency; peer support; collaboration and mutuality; empowerment, voice and choice; [and] cultural, historical, and gender issues.” In a commentary by Xxxxxxx (2017), “care ethics approaches to trauma-informed care require a clinician’s attention to respond to the needs, wishes, goals, priorities, risks, and vulnerabilities of the patient and incorporate them into the care plan” (Xxxxxxx, 2017). Coupled with Xxxxxxx’ assertion, Xxxxx and Xxxx (2011) add that although “trauma-informed services were not specifically developed for use with survivors of sex trafficking, and have not been evaluated with this population, consensus exists in the literature that trauma-informed services have promising potential.” However, they emphasize: Providers designing trauma-informed services specific to sex trafficking survivors should ensure that they (a) give priority to survivor’s physical and emotional safety; (b) concurrently address co-occurring problems; (c) use an empowerment philosophy to guide service delivery; (d) maximize survivors’ choice and control of services; (e) emphasize survivors’ resilience; and (f) minimize the potential of the survivor experiencing additional trauma (Xxxxxxx et al., 2005; Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 2001 as cited in Xxxxx & Xxxx, 2011). A trauma-informed approach strengthens care for survivors of trafficking by providing compassionate and intentional approaches to care, thus helping to avoid triggering fear, shame, or distress for patients (Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, 2017). This approach can be integrated by the entire care team and practice staff—from front office to security—to ensure that the practice as a whole “prioritizes a safe environment for the clinical encounter, helping the patient to regain a sense of agency and autonomy d...
Trauma-Informed Care. An approach to service delivery that is grounded in an 22 understanding of trauma and its consequences and promotes healing and resilience.
Trauma-Informed Care. Overview The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that leads public health efforts to advance the nations behavioral health [1]. With a mission to reduce the impact of substance abuse and mental illness, SAMHSA has recognized the syndemic relationship between trauma and substance abuse and has created a trauma- informed approach to care that focuses on four core objectives: 1) realizing the widespread impact of trauma understanding the potential paths to recovery, 2), recognizing the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved, 3) responding fully by integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices, and 4) actively resisting re-traumatization [1, 60]. This approach was developed as a way to mediate behavioral health care by shifting away from the narrative of “What’s wrong with the person?” to a more holistic view of “What happened to this person?” Trauma informed care (TIC) is a framework for an approach that can be implemented in any type of service setting or care and attempts to address the consequences of trauma and facilitate the recovery process while promoting sensitivity and empathy from the care providers [60]. In order to develop trauma informed care interventions that will work to facilitate recovery, SAMHSA has developed six key principles which need to be present in any intervention that claim to be trauma informed. These six principles include physically and psychologically safety which should be felt by both staff and patients, organizational trustworthiness and transparency aimed at maintaining trust among staff, clients, and family members, peer support and mutual self-help, collaboration and mutuality between staff administration and clients, empowerment, voice, and choice throughout the organization including among staff and clients, and organization consideration of cultural, historical, and gender issues that clients may experience [60]. Using these standards, Fallot et al developed, Creating Cultures of Trauma Informed Care (CCTIC), a self-assessment and planning protocol for organizations interested assessing current levels of TIC provided within a treatment center [61]. This tool provides organizations with an outline for facilitating culture change within an organization towards being more trauma-informed using four steps. This research focuses on step one, initial planning...
