The National Center for Trauma-Informed Care is a United States based medical charity, funded by the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS). Created in 2005, it assists publicly funded agencies, programs, and services in making a cultural shift to a more trauma-informed environment — an environment intended to be more supportive, comprehensively integrated, and empowering for trauma survivors.
Trauma-informed care can play a large role in both the treatment of trauma and prevention of violence. Survivors of violence have a re-injury rate ranging from 16% to 44%. [104] Proponents argue that TIC is necessary to interrupt this broader cycle of violence, as studies show that medical treatment alone does not protect survivors from re-injury.
The races most impacted by trauma in the United States are white (59.86%), unspecified or other (28.24%), Black (6.4%), and Hispanic (5.5%). [1] In children and adolescents, exposure to trauma carries the risk of cognitive, emotional, and social impact, as well as considerations in the development of their mental health. [3]
Numerous ethical guidelines can inform a trauma-informed care (TIC) approach. [1] Trauma can result from a wide range of experiences which expose humans to one or more physical, emotional, and/or relational dangers. Treatment can be provided by a wide range of practices, ranging from yoga, education, law, mental health, justice, to medical.
Critical incident stress management (CISM) is a system of support for individuals and groups who have been exposed to trauma. It is a form of psychological first aid. It includes pre-incident preparedness and acute crisis management through post-crisis follow-up.
Therefore, the negative effects of the trauma are simply related to our worldviews, and if we repair these views, we will recover from the trauma. [7] The psychological effect on an individual due to a traumatizing event will change and disrupt one's basic life assumptions – hence the title "shattered assumption theory".
Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD, cPTSD, or hyphenated C-PTSD) is a stress-related mental and behavioral disorder generally occurring in response to complex traumas [1] (i.e., commonly prolonged or repetitive exposures to a series of traumatic events, from which one sees little or no chance to escape).
Similar to the goals of trauma-informed care, the aim of a trauma-informed education approach is to create a safe, and welcoming environment that is attuned and responsive to the needs of not only students but all members of the school community (e.g. teachers, administrative staff, families) touched by the effects of trauma.
