Interventions to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in vulnerably housed populations and trauma-informed care: A scoping review

A trauma-informed care approach to care acknowledges that we need a complete picture of a person’s life (both past and present) to be able to provide healthcare that is focused on healing. The Trauma-Informed Care Implementation Resource Center explain that this approach understands that the impacts of trauma are widespread looks to identify signs and symptoms of this in patients, family, and staff; use knowledge about trauma to inform an organization’s policies and procedures; and, actively avoid re-traumatizing individuals.
