Tangible trauma informed care

This article focuses on how trauma informed principles can be translated into
tangible practice in residential care in the UK. It suggests that the core
components of trauma informed care as identified by Hanson and Lang (2016)
can be used as a framework to organise practice and ensure services are
adhering to trauma informed practice. This includes using guidance from
approaches such as the neuro-sequential model of therapeutics (Perry, 2006).
The article focuses on how trauma informed principles and components have
been turned into tangible practice in residential care services in the USA, Norway
and Sweden and suggests practical steps practitioners can take in becoming
trauma informed.
