Abstract

Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) is an approach that acknowledges the prevalence and impact of trauma on individuals and integrates this awareness into mental health treatment and service delivery. The increasing recognition of trauma's widespread influence on both physical and mental well-being has led to significant shifts in the healthcare system. TIC offers a framework to ensure that healthcare professionals understand the effects of trauma, promote safety, empowerment, and healing, and avoid re-traumatization. This article discusses the core principles of Trauma-Informed Care, its applications across various settings, and its importance in fostering resilience among individuals who have experienced traumatic events. It also explores the role of TIC in emergency mental health contexts and its alignment with current practices aimed at improving human resilience.
