Trauma responsive systems recognize 75% of us have been overwhelmed by some event. They incorporate current knowledge about the impact of trauma on policies, programming, and service delivery. Trauma responsive systems and trauma informed care recognize that what we experience as traumatic affects us in known and knowable ways. These change how we think, feel, and act.
Trauma informed behavioral and mental health systems have better outcomes, higher staff health and morale, and lead their industries. Providing trauma informed care means changing the frame of reference, using almost all of the same skills and modeling mental health recovery behaviors presented to clients as healthy and addressing organizational and cultural barriers to trauma-informed care.
More specifically, trauma informed care means recognizing and responding to risks of coercion, misuses of power, and the substitution of power for therapeutic relationships. Trauma informed care focuses on the known impact of traumatic events from a present focused strength based perspective in interactions, documentation, notes, and belief. Trauma responsive systems recognize this and apply it in HR policies, operating processes, and customer interfaces. TReSIA is a suite of integrated tools to help organizations become trauma responsive and trauma informed.
The focus on fostering resilience and optimizing people's abilities through healthier relationship and preventive mental health improvement reduces stigma, is likely to reduce use of benefits and leave, and impacts ROI.
