Trauma-Informed Practice: Fundamental Concepts for Complex Workplaces

Our first in a series of webinars made possible by funds from the Lilly Grant Foundation.

Trauma-Informed Practice from TEND Academy

Supporting people with complex needs can be challenging. Providing responsive and compassionate service is only possible when we recognize the pervasive impact that trauma can have on a person’s life and the way they engage with the world. When we reframe our perspective from “what is wrong with you” to “what happened to you,” we help to create an atmosphere of safety, trust, and collaboration. 

In this setting, we empower the people we serve, those we work alongside, and ourselves to fully engage with the services we provide.
