Job description
Job responsibilities
Trauma Informed Approaches look to recognise and acknowledge the impact of adverse childhood events and how these can cause or contribute to the development of mental health problems in adults, including how we are able to seek and use help when offered.
It understands trauma in a broad sense that includes the impact of discrimination and marginalisation on both staff and those who use our services.
HPFT is committed to developing policies and practises to reflect this trauma awareness, ensuring that the key message of what has happened to you rather than what is wrong with you runs through everything we do.
On the wards and in our crisis services we seek to create conditions that promote emotional safety and reduce harm through our interactions that recognise safety, empowerment, collaboration, choice and trustworthiness.
