Trauma informed approaches

Our Trauma Informed Language Guide provides simple guidelines on how to use language to empower individuals, reduce stigma and reinforce a person-first approach.

Trauma informed approaches can be used by health practitioners to increase feelings of safety and trust, address the negative impact of trauma experiences and promote better health and wellbeing outcomes for individuals.

You can also find help to develop a trauma informed approach in your workforce and services by using the Trauma Informed Approaches Self-Assessment Toolkit. Use this guidance to help complete the self-assessment toolkit.
