Trauma informed practice is grounded in a deep understanding of trauma that honours lived experience and co-creates services that are safe havens for staff and service users. This involves designing environments, relationships, and systems that reduce the risk of re-traumatisation and instead foster connection, trust, and healing. When effectively embedded, trauma informed systems become places for people to heal—places where staff and service users feel seen, valued, and supported.

Trauma informed principles provide a practical framework to implement TIP across every level of a service, from an individual, team, organisational and community level. It is a whole-of-system approach that can be embedded across all levels of an organisation or service and even more broadly across sectors and communities, making social change. 

Becoming trauma informed is an ongoing journey of learning, reflection, and cultural change. It invites organisations to be responsive rather than reactive, to centre humanity in systems, and to strengthen the foundations for both individual and collective resilience.

Trauma informed practice will transform how you understand trauma and how you respond to those who have experienced trauma. It provides a framework for anyone in the helping profession to work in a way that is meaningful and sustainable over a long career.

A contemporary understanding how trauma impacts on people and systems allows you to see things from a whole new perspective. It changes how we run our services, treat our staff, engage with service users, and engage with our community. Its really pretty amazing.
