Trauma-Informed Care
“No intervention that takes power away from the survivor can possibly foster her recovery, no matter how much it appears to be in her immediate best interest.” -Judith Herman, M.D.
WHAT IS TRAUMA?
Trauma is an emotional, psychological, or physical response to an event or series of events that overwhelm an individual’s ability to cope. It can result from various experiences, such as accidents, abuse, loss, violence, or natural disasters. Trauma affects the nervous system, often leading to long-lasting emotional and physical distress.
