Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) recognises the widespread impact of trauma and aims to create a safe, supportive environment for all individuals. This approach involves:
- Understanding trauma: Acknowledging that trauma can impact an individual’s behaviour, emotions, and coping mechanisms.
- Building trust: Creating a safe, predictable environment where individuals feel respected and valued.
- Empathy and patience: Practicing understanding and avoiding re-traumatisation through insensitive or rushed care. Implementing TIC in every care setting enhances both the well-being of the individual and the quality of care provided.
