Description
The need for health and social services to be trauma- and violence-informed has never been more pressing. As the world grapples with the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, racial violence, and mental health crises, service providers are facing unprecedented challenges. This handbook provides practical guidance on implementing trauma- and violence-informed care (TVIC) in diverse settings. Drawing on case examples, it offers a step-by-step approach to creating environments, policies, and practices that mitigate the harms of structural and interpersonal violence. By exploring TVIC at multiple levels, from individual practices to organizational protocols and system-level policies, this book presents a call to action for improving service user experiences, resource efficiency, and staff well-being. By adopting trauma- and violence-informed care, organizations can address health and social inequities and work towards a more just and equitable society.
