According to SAMHSA, psychological trauma is a hidden epidemic. 90% of clients in public behavioral health settings have experienced trauma. Trauma survivors have had overwhelming life experiences that significantly impact their capacity to function in a healthy manner. Providing them with trauma-informed care services that are responsive to their histories can make a huge difference in their lives.
Research demonstrates that psychological trauma contributes significantly in the development of many problems such as various psychiatric disorders, addictions, behavioral disorders, suicidal behavior, personality disorders, violent behavior, and a variety of chronic mental and physical health problems.
Most trauma survivors have repeated social and relational trauma resulting in complex or developmental trauma, which is quite different from PTSD — see this comparison chart PTSD vs. DTD diagnoses.
Trauma-informed professionals have a critical role in clearing the impact of trauma on individuals’ long-term mental and physical health. Skills in addressing trauma is now the expectation, not the exception, in healthcare systems. Behavioral health organizations are now seeking clinicians who are qualified to offer trauma-informed care.
According to SAMHSA’s concept of a trauma-informed approach, “A program, organization, or system that is trauma-informed:
A trauma-informed approach can be implemented in any type of service setting or organization and is distinct from trauma-specific interventions or treatments that are designed specifically to address the consequences of trauma and to facilitate healing.
This training program includes multi-media lectures, self-awareness activities, group discussions, optional experiential learning.
