This section provides resources for practitioners working in private practice and professionals within organisations delivering trauma-informed programs and trauma-specific services.
Trauma-specific approaches focus on clinical treatment and therapies for people who have experienced complex trauma. Trauma-informed approaches focus on how services and organisations respond to and support people affected by trauma, embedding principles of safety, trust, choice, collaboration and empowerment across all aspects of service delivery.
While distinct, both approaches are essential. Trauma-informed environments create the conditions for safety and recovery, supporting and strengthening the effectiveness of trauma-specific treatment.
