Abstract

Trauma-informed care (TIC) represents a transformative approach to mental health and social services that acknowledges the profound effects of trauma on individuals, families, and communities. By integrating awareness, sensitivity, and understanding of trauma into every level of care, TIC aims to foster safety, trust, and empowerment in those seeking support. This approach moves beyond symptom management to address the root causes of distress, helping individuals rebuild a sense of control and resilience. As mental health professionals increasingly encounter trauma-related cases—from childhood abuse and domestic violence to disaster exposure and systemic oppression—implementing trauma-informed principles has become essential. This article explores the concept, core principles, and importance of trauma-informed care, emphasizing its role in shaping responsive, empathetic, and effective support systems that promote long-term healing and human resilience.
