Trauma-Informed Care
Culture and Trauma
Trauma intersects in many different ways with culture, history, race, gender, location, and language.
Families and Trauma
All families experience trauma differently. Some factors such as a child’s age or the family’s culture or ethnicity may influence how the family copes and recovers from a traumatic event.
Family-Youth-Provider Partnerships
Partnership among family, youth, and providers merges professional expertise and the experiences of trauma and healing.
Secondary Traumatic Stress
Secondary traumatic stress is the emotional duress that results when an individual hears about the firsthand trauma experiences of another.
