Exploring Interpersonal Standards
The relationships within and between services and with people who engage with services for support. Trauma informed relationships are based on mutual respect, authenticity, moral courage and empathy. It is not envisioned that disagreements won't happen but rather they are approached with a motivation to repair damage to relationships in order to promote trust. This implies that leaders need to be appointed and held to account for the way they contribute positively to such a culture.
The main interpersonal standards are Relational Reparation and Compassionate and Transformational Leadership.
