A darker green page. Behind the page’s title, a pale green cutout with jagged edges. In the lower right corner, “definitions,” in the hash mark oval. “What is trauma-informed care? TIC is a universal precaution; and a lens much like harm reduction, or anti-racism; that recognizes the prevalence of trauma and frames action and practice with that understanding. The five principles of trauma-informed care.* Safety—which includes creating spaces where people feel culturally, emotionally, and physically safe as well as an awareness of an individual’s discomfort or unease. Transparency and trustworthiness—which includes providing full and accurate information about what’s happening and what’s likely to happen next. Choice—which includes the recognition of the need for an approach that honors the individual’s dignity. Collaboration and mutuality—which includes recognition that healing happens in relationships and partner—with shared decision-making. Empowerment—which includes the recognition of an individual’s strengths. These strengths are built on and validated.” Footnote to the five principles reads, “Of course, I always add ‘equity and inclusion’.”
