Fact Sheets - Key concepts for working with a trauma lens

Supporting complex trauma clients during COVID-19
This fact sheet supports health practitioners in their interactions with complex trauma clients in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. It places the challenges of COVID-19 into perspective both for the practitioner, supporting them in their role but also in raising awareness of some of the particular challenges for people with complex trauma experiences during isolation and lockdown, and how best to support them.
