“In order to overcome trauma people need to feel safe enough to open up their hearts and minds to others...This can only be done if trauma survivors, and their communities, are helped to confront and confess the reality of what has happened and are helped to feel safe again.”  - Bessel van der Kolk, Author of The Body Keeps The Score

Trauma-informed care (TIC) is a framework that acknowledges the impact of trauma on individuals and groups and seeks to create environments that promote healing and recovery.
