This clinical practice point supports individuals managing and working within outpatient and community-based youth healthcare settings to understand what trauma-informed care is, identify the core principles of trauma-informed care as applicable within their work setting, identify how trauma-informed care can be operationalised in their work setting at an organisational level and in clinical practice.
This issue brief discusses the importance of cultivating a child welfare system that recognizes and responds appropriately to trauma. After providing a brief overview of trauma and its effects, the brief explores steps that are involved in transitioning to a trauma-informed system and features examples from State and local programs incorporating trauma-informed practice. The brief concludes by highlighting how cross-system collaborations can help promote trauma-informed child welfare practice.
This brief draws on interviews with national experts on trauma-informed care to create a framework for organizational and clinical changes that can be practically implemented across the health care sector to address trauma. It also highlights payment, policy, and educational opportunities to acknowledge trauma’s impact.
This paper defines trauma-informed service delivery in Australian child/family welfare, emphasising responses to trauma's effects, challenges in implementation, and the need for consistent frameworks and interventions.
The framework outlines the terms, principles and practice domains associated with trauma, contains practical advice for working with children and young people, individuals and families and provides an example of trauma-informed practice.
The framework guides system-wide change by outlining principles, implementation domains, strategic objectives and behaviour change required to provide integrated trauma-informed care. The principles of integrated trauma-informed care are addressed across all domains of the NSW Health system, including governance and leadership, training and workforce development, policy, monitoring and quality assurance, engagement and involvement, financing, cross-sector collaboration, physical environment, quality service provision, and evaluation and technology.
This framework develops a working concept of trauma and a trauma-informed approach, as well as a shared understanding of these concepts across an array of service systems and stakeholder groups.
This practice paper introduces complex trauma and trauma-informed care, including their importance in supporting the wellbeing and mental health of infants and young children.
