Here at Roots Renewal Ranch, we understand that our clients come to us from a variety of backgrounds and carry different traumas. When developing care plans for our clients, we understand that the best way to address their present problems is to recognize and address their past traumas. To achieve this, we offer trauma-informed care. 

What is Trauma-Informed Care?

Trauma-informed care is a caring approach based on acknowledging the impact of trauma, recognizing residual trauma symptoms, and addressing how trauma might play into a person’s life and current struggles. In doing so, our care providers use this information to develop tailored care plans that not only address our clients’ current problems but also function to avoid retraumatization and even work to heal some of that trauma.

What Are The Principles And Qualities Of Trauma-Informed Care

There are six main principles that guide trauma-informed care. These principles include: 

Safety

  • Clients should feel a high level of physical and psychological safety at the treatment facility, with the staff, and with other clients within the facility.

Transparency

  • Decisions about client care are made with complete transparency to build rapport and trust between the client and caretakers.

Peer Support

  • People with shared experiences are integral to client care and support.

Collaboration

  • The imbalanced power dynamic between clients and staff is leveled so that the decision-making process is shared and equalized.

Empowerment

  • Staff and clients work together to identify and encourage client strengths and build new competencies.

Humility & Responsiveness

  • Traumas related to biases of race, age, sex, gender, and orientation are recognized and addressed.

Benefits Of Providing Trauma-Informed Care

There are many benefits to providing trauma-informed care. The benefits can help both clients and healthcare providers. Many clients with histories of trauma struggle to trust, build rapport, or even open up to care providers. Trauma-informed care helps to bridge the gap between them and can even provide points of connection that previously would not have been available. By developing trust and building these relationships, clients and care providers are more likely to achieve better outcomes.

Improving Outcomes

Trauma-informed care can improve both patient and clinical outcomes. By recognizing our clients’ past traumas, building strong client-provider relationships, and addressing patients holistically, patients are more likely to achieve treatment success, complete treatment programming, and report feelings of patient satisfaction. Research shows that clinics implementing trauma-informed care have higher patient success rates and higher levels of workplace satisfaction. 

Addressing Trauma

Trauma-informed care creates a safe and inviting environment for patients to receive treatment and addresses their past traumas through trauma-specific care. In treatment and recovery settings, it can be easy to overlook past traumas in favor of focusing on other issues. Past traumas do not have to come second to other issues with trauma-informed care. Instead, trauma-informed care looks to address clients holistically and address their traumas and other issues simultaneously. 

What Does Trauma-Informed Care Look Like?

Every clinic’s trauma-informed care looks different. That being said, all trauma-informed care can be integrated into the course of a client’s other treatment plans. With trauma-informed care, care providers integrate the principles of this care style into clients’ treatment plans and work with them to recognize how their traumas might be affecting their current circumstances and work through those traumas. There are a number of different therapeutic and treatment approaches through which this can be achieved.

Anticipating Emotional Responses & Avoiding Re-Traumatization

An important part of trauma-informed care is avoiding retraumatization. Re-traumatization is when a person relives the stress reaction of a traumatic event when faced with similar circumstances or when bringing up past traumas in therapy. Many people do not realize that some of their symptoms are a part of residual traumas, which can be re-traumatizing when they are finally brought up in treatment. The care provider must understand clients’ traumas and work with them to avoid retraumatization.
