6. Practice VS Treatment
There are two main aspects to Trauma Informed Practices. The first is a system-wide approach, that we have discussed so far. It is organized around the goal of addressing the trauma-based needs, prioritizing physical and emotional safety, building trust, maximizing student choice, and focusing on empowerment and skill building for students and staff thereby building resiliency.
The second aspect is trauma treatment which refers to treatment specifically designed to treat trauma symptoms (e.g., Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, Trauma Systems Therapy) which can be included within a trauma-informed approach, when necessary. Trauma informed treatment is only a small portion of Trauma Informed Practices.
