Trauma-informed care is based on the understanding that:
- A significant number of people living with mental health conditions have experienced trauma in their lives
- trauma may be a factor for people in distress
- the impact of trauma may be lifelong and
- trauma can impact the person, their emotions and relationships with others.
At We Core, our trauma-informed services are based on the following principles:
- Safety – emotional as well as physical e.g. a welcoming environment
- Trust – being sensitive to our participants’ needs
- Choice – providing opportunity for choice
- Collaboration – communicating to our participants a sense of ‘doing with’ rather than ‘doing to’
- Empowerment of our participants
- Respect for Diversity in all its forms
