Trauma Informed Approaches

It is crucial to practice trauma informed approaches while working with clients in a therapeutic manner. Therefore, the therapists at Fortitude Wellness Journey are all trained in trauma informed approaches to empower clients while processing, evolving, and healing trauma. 

Implementing a trauma informed approach incorporates realizing the prevalence of trauma, recognizing how trauma affects all individuals involved with the program, organization, or system, including its own workforce, and responding by putting this knowledge into practice. It also allows one to recognize the impacts of trauma and the role it plays within an individual’s life, while also understanding and recognizing the signs and symptoms, the physical, social, and emotional impact of trauma on the individual, and avoid retraumatization.

The key concepts of trauma informed care are: safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment.
