14 Over the last several years there has been increased attention to the impacts of trauma on behavior. The term trauma-informed was coined as a way to help service providers (education, social services, health and medical, law enforcement, etc) and their agencies or departments better serve the people by better understanding their behavior. Several key areas are involved to being trauma-informed: 1. A person has a profound understanding of the impacts of trauma on behavior 2. A person has a profound understanding of the impacts of trauma on behavior and understands the difference between: 3. What s wrong with you vs. What happened to you 4. A person has a profound understanding of the impacts of trauma on behavior and seeks NOT to re-traumatize a person or group of people. (individual behavior, workplace policies, etc) 5. A person has a profound understanding of the impacts of trauma on behavior and has done their own personal healing work. Having a profound understanding means that you have studied historical and intergenerational trauma (read books, attended training, been mentored by experts), you have experience working with people and communities impacted by trauma, you have an understanding of the brain and how it responds to trauma and you have done your own healing work in response to your trauma. Where there has been trauma, healing is the answer. Native Wellness Institute
