Understanding Trauma-Informed Care: Why It Matters for Every Child
Trauma-informed care is more than an approach — it’s a commitment to seeing the whole child with compassion and understanding.
Summary
Children who enter residential care often come with unique emotional histories. Trauma-informed care helps caregivers recognize these experiences and respond in ways that promote healing rather than harm. In this article, we explore what trauma-informed care means, how it shapes daily interactions, and why it’s essential in creating trust and emotional safety. From active listening to supportive routines, we highlight key practices that help children rebuild confidence and develop a stronger sense of self-worth.
