Assignment:

Based on your work completed above, you and your work team are planning a new training course for all staff to learn more about trauma-informed care. As part of this course, you need to brainstorm concrete examples of situations that can illustrate the principles and practices of trauma-informed care.

For each of the following questions, briefly outline a real-world example that might involve working with a person who has experienced trauma, as well as of how to respond using trauma-informed care practices. These will be used as teaching tools for the workshop.

For example:

'How would you promote a safe environment for those experiencing trauma?'

Michelle is a 22-year-old woman fleeing a relationship where she experienced domestic violence. Melody, her support worker, ensures that she provides a confidential space for Michelle to share her concerns, while not asking probing questions or being confrontational in any way. Melody gives her time to speak and physically keeps her distance.'

• How would you assist someone affected by trauma to identify their personal resources and strengths?
• How would you ensure cultural competency in working with a person affected by trauma?
• How can you promote the belief that recovery is possible when working with a person affected by trauma?
• How do you use strengths-based, collaborative practices when working with a person affected by trauma?
