A Client’s Perspective on Trauma-informed Care

Amie, Have you gotten any help with guidance since you first posted?  --Chris

Hi Amie,

I'm struggling with the same issues tho in a community. I'm eager to hear how others have implemented ACE & trauma-informed care across agencies or departments. Hopefully others will have some advice. Thanks for your dialogue.

Hi Chris,

Thank you so much for sharing this powerful article!  I'm seeking to learn how to introduce this concept, i.e., trauma-informed care, coupled with the intake process, to the clinical and administrative staff of the hospital where I work.  Since any kind of major paradigm change will be resisted, I'd appreciate some guidance on how to approach the upper levels of our institution.  Any ideas or suggestions would be most appreciated.  By the way, I work as a Chaplain in a regional hospital --- so, not a lot of "pull" at this point, although my director is fully on-board.

Thank you!

Amie
