For practitioners

Delivering trauma informed services requires an insight into the signs of trauma, ideas on how to respond, and a trauma informed delivery model.

Practitioner help

Understanding the physical and emotional impact trauma may have on the brain and body can help practitioners to understand behaviours and make more informed decisions. 6 principles of trauma informed practice

6 principles of trauma informed practice

There are six principles that act as a guide for developing trauma informed practice (adapted from Fallot & Harris, 2006):

1. Safety

I don’t feel threatened

2. Trust

They do what they say.

3. Peer support

I feel supported

4. Collaboration

We are in this together

5. Empowerment/person-centred

I am taking control of my life

6. Cultural, historical and gender issues

I am being seen and heard
