Trauma Informed Practice and Intergenerational Trauma

Trauma Informed Practice -Mandy Craig

Trauma-informed practice is an approach to health and care interventions which is grounded in the understanding that trauma exposure can impact an individual’s neurological, biological, psychological and social development. Trauma-informed practice aims to increase practitioners’ awareness of how trauma can negatively impact on individuals and communities, and their ability to feel safe or develop trusting relationships with health and care services and their staff.

 

We can all agree that what has happened in our past, influences who we are now, how we behave and who we trust. Being aware of a person’s history, may be the key to unlocking the door to discover ‘what does this person need’ rather than ‘what is wrong with this person’.
