Trauma Informed Care is an approach to day-to-day treatment in mental health settings, organized around a model a crisis worker can follow with a client in a crisis situation.
What it covers
This course provides day-to-day treatment guidelines based on the ABC Model of Intervention: developing and maintaining rapport, identifying the problem, and exploring the client’s coping strategies.
The catalog adds: “It also includes specific therapeutic interactions for use in a variety of situations.”
Crisis workers or those working in crisis situations can use the model effectively in any mental health setting and with any individual — from any population — in a crisis situation.
