Process
Exploring the way processes influence implementation of trauma informed approaches
The way that services deliver what they do and the language they use to describe things. Such processes of delivery and engagement need to be focused on addressing power issues and safety (both physical and psychological). It can help to use language that demonstrates that people are understood as reacting to context, allows multiple perspectives and is free enough of jargon that allows more people to join in the conversation. The main process standards are Safety, Human Experience Language and Empowerment.
