This care is directed at understanding the neurological, biological, psychological and social effects of trauma. We assess consumers to learn if the trauma occurred and whether it affects behavioral health needs. Some trauma includes sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, severe neglect, loss, witnessing violence, substance abuse, imprisoned family members, and abandonment. Understanding when the trauma occurred helps us tailor our responses, treatment, and services. Trauma-informed assessments and interventions always acknowledge, respect, and integrate cultural values, beliefs, and practices.
