Trauma-Responsive Care

Trauma-Responsive Care (TRC) is the next step of Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) that turns awareness into action through three everyday practices (Clarity, Choice, and Connection) and three mindset shifts (Safe-Enoughness, Emotion Effectiveness and Trauma Recovery). TRC builds on everything TIC has already done well—raising awareness, creating shared language, and helping people see how trauma affects the brain, body, and relationships. What TRC adds is how to act on that awareness in individual lives and within organizations.
